Vision

The Graph team builds tools and services that provide contextual information around code, taking into account its lexical, syntactic, and semantic structure. This includes:

• An API to provide fast, comprehensive, and accurate answers to important code navigation queries such as Go to Definition and Find References
• A powerful and flexible language-agnostic model of dependency relationships across projects, repositories, and languages
• Robust, extensible, and scalable infrastructure to index code across all languages, keep those indexes up-to-date, and efficiently resolve code navigation queries against all indexed code.

Strategy

• We see Code intelligence as the glue that sticks the product together, providing a platform for features from navigation to precise powered searches, compiler-accurate batch changes and insights. We aim to provide support for all widely used languages and for the ones we don’t, provide a platform for any developer to add and test their own indexers.
• In the near term we want code navigation to provide seamless, out-of-the-box, precise code navigation for languages that cover 90% of the market usage.
• We want our code navigation to reach IDE feature parity, while offering the option of plugging into developers’ favorite IDEs.
