A Javascript client for interacting with a Lisp swank server

# 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.
