9 // The language server protocol is usually implemented by writing messages as
10 // JSON-RPC over the stdin/stdout of a subprocess. However other communications
11 // mechanisms are possible, such as XPC on mac.
12 //
13 // The Transport interface allows the mechanism to be replaced, and the JSONRPC
14 // Transport is the standard implementation.
