go-langserver is a Go language server implementing the Language Server Protocol (LSP), providing editor features like go-to-definition, hover, find-references, and workspace symbols for Go projects. It was built by Sourcegraph but has been deprioritized in favor of Google's gopls.
Use cases
- add Go support to my editor via LSP
- jump to definition and find references for Go code
- hover information for Go symbols in my editor
- workspace symbol search in Go projects
- format Go files with goimports or gofmt from an editor
- lint Go code with golint through an editor integration
When to choose
- you need a lightweight Go language server for a custom LSP client or tooling
- your editor or tool cannot use gopls and needs basic Go navigation features
- you are integrating Go code intelligence into a non-standard environment
When to avoid
- you want a full-featured Go language server for daily editor use - use gopls instead
- you need actively maintained tooling with the latest Go language support
- you rely on advanced features like full code completion, which is experimental here
