The Rust Language Server (RLS) implements the Language Server Protocol to give editors and IDEs Rust support such as goto definition, completion, renaming, and reformatting. It is deprecated and no longer supported, having been replaced by rust-analyzer.

Use cases

  • add rust language support to my editor
  • language server for rust ide integration
  • goto definition and code completion for rust
  • rename and refactor rust code in an editor
  • rust language server protocol implementation

When to choose

  • you are stuck on a legacy toolchain that only supports RLS

When to avoid

  • starting any new Rust project or editor setup
  • you want maintained tooling - use rust-analyzer instead
  • you need support for large crates or modern Rust features
