Quick Start

Install from Marketplace

Install via the VS Code extension from the VS Code Marketplace.

Dev Container (recommended)

Open in GitHub Codespaces or VS Code Dev Containers — everything is pre-installed, including Python 3.13, Jupyter, and Node.js 22.

Manual Setup

npm install && npm run build && npm test

Development

npm run watch        # recompiles on file changes
# Then press F5 in VS Code to launch the extension + server

Use the "Client + Server" compound debug configuration to debug both sides simultaneously.

Client Examples

The LSP server is language-agnostic. Three client implementations are included to demonstrate different integration patterns:

VS Code Extension (clients/vscode/)

The primary client — a full VS Code extension using vscode-languageclient, communicating over IPC. Provides diagnostics, completions, hover, go-to-definition, semantic tokens, and all other LSP features directly in the editor.

Web Client (clients/web/)

A browser-based SysML explorer with a Node.js HTTP bridge to the LSP server. Features a live editor with auto-analyse, diagnostics panel, symbol outline, and Mermaid diagram generation with zoom/pan.

make web             # build + start on http://localhost:3000

Python Client (clients/python/)

A zero-dependency Python script and Jupyter notebook that drives the LSP over stdio — the same JSON-RPC protocol VS Code uses, with no framework overhead.

python3 clients/python/sysml_lsp_client.py                    # analyse all examples
python3 clients/python/sysml_lsp_client.py examples/bike.sysml # analyse a specific file

The Jupyter notebook (sysml_lsp_demo.ipynb) provides an interactive walkthrough of every LSP feature.

Benchmarks

A built-in benchmark suite measures parser, symbol table, LSP provider, memory, throughput, and folder-load performance. Results are written as both JSON and Markdown to benchmarks/results/.

Running Benchmarks

npm run bench                    # run all suites
npm run bench:parse              # parse suite only
npm run bench:providers          # LSP providers suite only

Or use the runner directly for full control:

npx tsx benchmarks/src/runner.ts --suite parse --suite symbolTable
npx tsx benchmarks/src/runner.ts --runs 10 --warmup 3
npx tsx benchmarks/src/runner.ts --output ./my-results

Suites

| Suite | What it measures | | ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | | parse | ANTLR4 parse time — cold (no DFA) vs warm (DFA snapshot pre-loaded) | | symbolTable | Symbol table build and lookup latency | | providers | LSP features: diagnostics, hover, completion, references, rename, etc. | | memory | Heap allocation per file and scaling behaviour | | throughput | End-to-end lines/sec and tokens/sec across all example files | | folderLoad | Full folder parse + symbol build (examples, standard library, all) |

Regression Detection

Save a baseline, then compare future runs against it:

npm run bench:baseline           # save current results as baseline
npm run bench:regression         # compare against baseline, exit 1 on regression

The default regression threshold is 20%. Override with --threshold .

Viewing Results

Each run produces a JSON file and a Markdown report in benchmarks/results/. To convert an existing JSON result to Markdown:

npx tsx benchmarks/src/reporters/markdownReporter.ts benchmarks/results/.json

Grammar Updates

The grammar files in grammar/ are sourced from daltskin/sysml-v2-grammar. To pull the latest version, rebuild the parser, and regenerate the DFA snapshot:

make update-grammar

This fetches the .g4 files, runs npm run build, and regenerates the DFA snapshot that eliminates the ANTLR4 cold-start penalty. If you edit grammar files manually, run make dfa afterwards.
