A set of npm packages that connect the Monaco editor to language servers via the Language Server Protocol, including JSON-RPC over WebSocket communication and a React wrapper component. It enables building web-based code editors with rich language features like completion, diagnostics, and hover information.

Use cases

• add language server features to monaco editor in a web app
• embed a code editor with autocomplete and diagnostics in react
• connect monaco editor to a language server over websocket
• build a browser-based IDE for a custom DSL
• run a language server in a web worker for in-browser editing

When to choose

• you want Monaco editor with full LSP features in a web application
• you need JSON-RPC communication with a language server over WebSocket
• you want a ready-made React component wrapping Monaco with language client support

When to avoid

• you need a full VS Code-like IDE rather than a single editor component
• your project does not use Monaco editor or the Language Server Protocol
• you need a desktop-only editor without a web frontend
