What is MagpieBridge?

MapgieBridge is a framework for integrating Static Analyses into IDEs and Editors with the Language Server Protocol. MagpieBridge is a bridge between program analyses and developer tools. MagpieBridge offers an extensible implementation of a language server---MagpieServer which runs analysis; a default TextDocumentService--MagpieTextDocumentService which handles common LSP requests; a default WorkspaceService--MagpieWorkspaceService which handles different kinds of code actions and many other useful APIs for static analysis; and resuable Project Services that resolve project scope (source code path, library code path, class path etc.) which can be consumed by whole program analyses. Find more information in the following:

There is a talk at SOAP 2020 about MagpieBridge, the slides of the talk can be found here.

A Poster is also available.

For soot users, you can find an IRConverter under https://github.com/MagpieBridge/IRConverter for converting WALA IR to Soot IR, if you want to analyze Java source code with Soot.

Why is it called MagpieBridge?

In a Chinese legend, a human and a fairy fall in love, but this love angers the gods, who separate them on opposite sides of the Milky Way. However, on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month each year, thousands of magpies form a bridge, called 鹊桥 in Chinese and Queqiao in pinyin, allowing the lovers to meet. We use MagpieBridge as a metaphor for a system that connects arbitrary static analysis to arbitrary IDE.
