# swank-client [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/neil-lindquist/swank-client.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/neil-lindquist/swank-client) This is an implementation of a Swank client in Javascript, intended for communicating with running Common Lisp processes running a swank server, just like SLIME in Emacs. Swank-client forms a core part of the [SLIMA](https://atom.io/packages/SLIMA) package for the Atom text editor. This package was forked from [Steve Levine's swank-client-js](https://github.com/sjlevine/swank-client-js) due to maintenance issues. If you are interested in using this library, please let me know. Currently, the only user is the [SLIMA](https://atom.io/packages/SLIMA) package for Atom, so the documentation is pretty minimal. This library provides an editor/view-independent API for making the following queries to a Swank server: - Evaluating arbitrary Lisp expressions and files - Retrieving auto documentation - Controlling a debugger - Autocompletion requests - Object inspection requests - Profiling functions - Accessing compiler notes - Macroexpansion requests See `test.js` for an example use case.
