Eglot is an Emacs client for Language Server Protocol (LSP) servers, providing IDE-like features such as completion, diagnostics, and go-to-definition. It ships with Emacs core and supports many language servers out of the box with minimal configuration.

Use cases

  • add LSP support to Emacs
  • get code completion and diagnostics in Emacs
  • connect Emacs to clangd or gopls
  • turn Emacs into an IDE for multiple languages
  • configure language servers in Emacs with minimal setup

When to choose

  • you use Emacs and want built-in, low-configuration LSP support
  • you prefer a client that stays out of your way without heavy customization
  • you want LSP features without installing third-party frameworks like LSP-mode

When to avoid

  • you use Vim, Neovim, or VS Code instead of Emacs
  • you need extensive UI-heavy IDE features or deep third-party extension ecosystems
  • you run an Emacs version older than 26.3
