Return the identifiers of all known languages.
Promise resolving to an array of identifier strings.
Set (and change) the language that is associated with the given document.

followed by the onDidOpenTextDocument event.

The new language identifier.
A thenable that resolves with the updated document.
Compute the match between a document selector and a document. Values greater than zero mean the selector matches the document.
A match is computed according to these rules:
DocumentSelector is an array, compute the match for each contained DocumentFilter or language identifier and take the maximum value.language-part of a DocumentFilter, so "fooLang" is like { language: "fooLang" }.DocumentFilter will be matched against the document by comparing its parts with the document. The following rules apply:DocumentFilter is empty ({}) the result is 0scheme, language, or pattern are defined but one doesn’t match, the result is 0* gives a score of 5, matching via equality or via a glob-pattern gives a score of 10Samples:
// default document from disk (file-scheme)
doc.uri; //'file:///my/file.js'
doc.languageId; // 'javascript'
match('javascript', doc); // 10;
match({language: 'javascript'}, doc); // 10;
match({language: 'javascript', scheme: 'file'}, doc); // 10;
match('*', doc); // 5
match('fooLang', doc); // 0
match(['fooLang', '*'], doc); // 5
// virtual document, e.g. from git-index
doc.uri; // 'git:/my/file.js'
doc.languageId; // 'javascript'
match('javascript', doc); // 10;
match({language: 'javascript', scheme: 'git'}, doc); // 10;
match('*', doc); // 5

Register a completion provider.
Multiple providers can be registered for a language. In that case providers are sorted by their score and groups of equal score are sequentially asked for completion items. The process stops when one or many providers of a group return a result. A failing provider (rejected promise or exception) will not fail the whole operation.
A completion item provider can be associated with a set of triggerCharacters. When trigger
characters are being typed, completions are requested but only from providers that registered
the typed character. Because of that trigger characters should be different than word characters,
a common trigger character is . to trigger member completions.

Namespace for participating in language-specific editor features, like IntelliSense, code actions, diagnostics etc.
Many programming languages exist and there is huge variety in syntaxes, semantics, and paradigms. Despite that, features like automatic word-completion, code navigation, or code checking have become popular across different tools for different programming languages.
The editor provides an API that makes it simple to provide such common features by having all UI and actions already in place and by allowing you to participate by providing data only. For instance, to contribute a hover all you have to do is provide a function that can be called with a TextDocument and a Position returning hover info. The rest, like tracking the mouse, positioning the hover, keeping the hover stable etc. is taken care of by the editor.
Registration is done using a document selector which is either a language id, like
javascriptor a more complex filter like{ language: 'typescript', scheme: 'file' }. Matching a document against such a selector will result in a score that is used to determine if and how a provider shall be used. When scores are equal the provider that came last wins. For features that allow full arity, like hover, the score is only checked to be>0, for other features, like IntelliSense the score is used for determining the order in which providers are asked to participate.@youngjuning
