The official Kotlin Language Server implementing the Language Server Protocol, built on IntelliJ IDEA and the IntelliJ Kotlin plugin. It ships as a standalone CLI server and as a 'Kotlin by JetBrains' extension for Visual Studio Code.
Use cases
- get Kotlin code completion in VS Code
- run a Kotlin language server for my editor
- see Kotlin diagnostics and quick fixes outside IntelliJ
- add Kotlin support to Neovim or other LSP clients
- edit Kotlin projects in Visual Studio Code
When to choose
- you write Kotlin in VS Code or another LSP-capable editor and want IntelliJ-powered analysis
- you need up-to-date Kotlin language version support outside JetBrains IDEs
When to avoid
- you already use IntelliJ IDEA or Android Studio, which have deeper Kotlin support
- you need a fully stable, feature-complete LSP implementation, as the project is in Alpha
