support for other language servers

[bobbrow]

I work on the Microsoft C++ extension for VSCode and would like to use this for visualizing my logs. I currently have the capability to export all communication between VSCode and the language server as a JSON array, but when I tried to upload my file and view it in the visualizer it failed. If you could document the format you expect to see, perhaps I could modify my output to match. Or if you could support reading in a JSON array, that would be nice too.

Thanks.

Work is happening on standardizing a JSON format that lsp-inspector could load: microsoft/vscode-languageserver-node#366 (Had been on vacation, will catch up on this).

Then LSP-Inspector will have these pieces:

• UI that depends on the specified JSON format
• Parser that converts raw log into this JSON format

The Node vscode-languageserver library will receive a new option to output Line delimited JSON, which seems close to what you are having. This would allow streaming the log into the UI.
