The architecture largely if not entirely supports that. Extensions and language services in VS Code exchange a flavour of JSON-RPC 2 and can run over HTTP. Check out "Monaco" (https://github.com/Microsoft/monaco-editor https://github.com/Microsoft/monaco-editor). Easy to drop into any project, and easy to back with OOTB or remote services. I use it in a few different projects for live config editing of custom JSON and XML schemas and excellent auto-complete capabilities.
