## What it is
vtsls is a Language Server Protocol wrapper around the TypeScript language features extension bundled with VSCode, exposing its full feature set to any LSP-capable editor. It applies minimal patches to the upstream extension so it can track VSCode updates with low maintenance overhead.

## Use cases
- use typescript language server in neovim
- get vscode-level typescript intellisense outside vscode
- run tsserver features over LSP
- set up typescript autocomplete and diagnostics in vim
- replace typescript-language-server with a vscode-backed one
- organize and sort imports from any editor

## When to choose
- you want VSCode's TypeScript editing features in a non-VSCode editor via LSP
- you need features like go-to-source-definition or find-all-file-references that other TS language servers lack
- you want a server that closely tracks upstream TypeScript/VSCode updates

## When to avoid
- you need guaranteed robustness for critical production tooling, as the wrapped extension's behavior isn't fully controlled
- you prefer a from-scratch, independently maintained language server
- you don't use an LSP-capable editor or Node.js >= 16

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: editor, developer-tools, parser
- domain: developer-tools, programming-languages, text-editors
