High‐Level Architecture

There are three primary components to the MATLAB extension for VS Code:

1. The Extension - The extension provides VS Code-specific functionality when editing MATLAB files.
2. The Language Server - The extension uses the language server to deliver advanced language features. In turn, the language server relies on MATLAB to enable enhanced functionality, including code execution and debugging capabilities.
3. Declarative Language Features - Several features are defined statically, including:
   1. MATLAB Language Grammar - Enables syntax highlighting.
   2. Snippets - Provides support for code snippets.
   3. Language Configuration - Supports features such as commenting and indentation rules.
