The Ada Language Server (ALS) supports some features that are not in the official Language Server Protocol specification. This document specifies how these features are documented.
Each feature is described in a dedicated Markdown document. There is a list of all features at the end of this document. We provide a template for convenience. The feature description document has the following structure:
The title matches the feature description document file name.
A short introduction describes purpose of the extension.
If a given feature requires some incompatible changes to the LSP protocol, then the client should request the explicit Capability to make the server send the extended information. This is required only in places where we replace some standard JSON properties. We can add new JSON properties without breaking compatibility, because clients simply ignore unknown properties.
This section provides a description of additional capabilities of the
Initialize request if required.
We use the als prefix in additional properties, to avoid name collisions.
This section describes what requests, responses and notifications are changed. It includes TypeScript definitions, as the official specification does.
