Even though most of the indexing and intellisense features are done within the language server itself, there'd still be significant overhead in JSON parsing and serialisation right?
The response example for the `textDocument/definition` request [0] shows a very large snippet of JSON considering the information it conveys:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"result": {
"uri": "file:///p%3A/mseng/VSCode/Playgrounds/cpp/provide.cpp",
"range": {
"start": {
"line": 0,
"character": 4
},
"end": {
"line": 0,
"character": 11
}
}
}
}
