ccls, which originates from [cquery](https://github.com/cquery-project/cquery), is a C/C++/Objective-C language server.

It makes use of C++17 features, has less third-party dependencies and slimmed-down code base. Cross reference features are strengthened, (see [wiki/FAQ](../../wiki/FAQ)). It currently uses libclang to index C++ code but will switch to Clang C++ API. Refactoring and formatting are non-goals as they can be provided by clang-format, clang-include-fixer and other Clang based tools.

The comparison with cquery as noted on 2018-07-15:
|
|
|
|
| | cquery | ccls |
|
|
|------------ |--------------------------------|------------------------------|
|
|
| third_party | more | fewer |
|
|
| C++ | C++14 | C++17 |
|
|
| clang API | libclang (C) | clang/llvm C++ |
|
|
| Filesystem | AbsolutePath + custom routines | llvm/Support |
|
|
| index | libclang | clangIndex, some enhancement |
|
|
| pipeline | index merge+id remapping | simpler and more robust |
|
|
|
|
cquery has system include path detection (through running the compiler driver) while ccls uses clangDriver.
