Hello ,

I would like to understand , what changes do I need to do I wish to try a different editor.

For example, I wish to use typeahead.js and bind the grammar to it . Please suggest the right way forward .

I am currently using ace editor which is supported by XText.

Regards,
Pranay

You have to find out how the different services can be realized in your editor of choice, e.g. how to display markers for validation errors and warnings. Then you can implement the connection to Xtext services along the lines of https://github.com/eclipse/xtext/blob/master/web/org.eclipse.xtext.web/src/main/js/xtext/xtext-ace.js
