Volar.js is a framework for building language tooling for embedded languages, powering language servers like Vue, Astro, and MDX. It provides modular packages for virtual code processing, language services, and LSP server/client implementations that work across editors.

Use cases

• build a language server for a custom or embedded language
• add IntelliSense, diagnostics, and auto-completion to a DSL
• create a VS Code extension with LSP support for a new language
• integrate language services into Monaco Editor
• run diagnostics and formatting for a language in Node.js tooling
• reuse language services across multiple editors and IDEs

When to choose

• you are building editor tooling for a language or framework with embedded code blocks
• you want LSP-based features without implementing the protocol yourself
• you need language support that works across VS Code, Monaco, and other editors

When to avoid

• you only need simple syntax highlighting without semantic features
• your language is not embedded and a standard LSP toolkit suffices
• you need a ready-made end-user editor rather than a tooling framework
