I am using xtext language server along with vscode extension which supports xtext language .

For every character entry/deletion in the vscode text editor new resource is getting created.

org.eclipse.xtext.build.IncrementalBuilder.InternalStatefulIncrementalBuilder.URIBasedFileSystemAccessFactory class's unloadResource() method will called when I enter/delete any character in the vscode text editor.

How I can disable xtext's incremental build to avoid new resource creation?

i assume without the incremental build nothing will work ...
maybe you can customize
org.eclipse.xtext.ide.server.LanguageServerImpl.didChange(DidChangeTextDocumentParams)
maybe thats also something that can be configured in you client (vscode) to better batch the changes

I have added build listener to language server which will be triggered for every character entry/deletion. We are getting list org.eclipse.xtext.resource.IResourceDescription.Delta objects when ever text changes. But we cannot extract which element added or deleted or renamed. Any ways to configure delta creation so that we can get details related to modification/deletion/addition of elements(org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EObject).

At vscode client side how we can handle text changes?

Any example where sync between diagram and text is implemented using vscode, xtext language server ?

If the named elements change then you should see that if you compare old and new on the delta can't you?
I have no idea if the delay is configurable in vscode

Did you check out the diverse Sprotten examples out there?

Please share link of diverse Sprotten examples.

For white space entry/deletion also I am getting deltas. How we can extract new element creation or element deletion details from deltas? Any where else we can extract these details?

you need to compare the EObject Descriptions in delta old/new
see also org.eclipse.xtext.resource.impl.DefaultResourceDescriptionDelta.haveEObjectDescriptionsChanged()

for sprotty+xtext

e.g. https://github.com/TypeFox/theia-xtext-sprotty-example
https://github.com/eclipse/sprotty-server
