| # analysis_server |
| |
| A long-running process that provides analysis results to other tools. |
| |
| The analysis server is designed to provide on-going analysis of one or more code |
| bases as those code bases are changing. |
| |
| ## Using the server |
| |
| The analysis server is not intended to be used stand-alone, and therefore does |
| not have a human-friendly user interface. |
| |
| Clients (typically tools, such as an editor) are expected to run the analysis |
| server in a separate process and communicate with it using a JSON protocol. The |
| original protocol is specified in the file [`analysis_server/doc/api.html`][api] |
| and [Language Server Protocol][lsp_spec] support is documented in |
| [`tool/lsp_spec/README.md`](tool/lsp_spec/README.md). |
