swank-client-js

Implementation of a Swank client in Javascript. Intended for communicating with running Common Lisp processes running a swank server, just like SLIME in Emacs.

This library provides an editor/view-independent API for making the following queries to a Swank server:

• Evaluating arbitrary Lisp expressions
• Retrieving auto documentation
• Controlling a debugger

Future additions to the API:

• Autocompletion requests
• Object introspection requests

See test.js for an example use case.

This package forms a core part of the atom-slime package for the Atom text editor.
