The Debug Adapter Protocol (DAP) defines the abstract protocol used between a development tool (Emacs) and a debugger[fn:1].

* Config

Use the package ~dap-mode~[fn:2] to add support for the Debug Adapter Protocol[fn:1] inside of Emacs. It has been tested against the following language servers:

+ Java
+ Ruby
+ Python
+ Elixir
+ LLDB (C/C++/Obj-C/Swift)

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
