getClassificationsForLine
Gives lexical classifications of tokens on a line without any syntactic context. For instance, a token consisting of the text 'string' can be either an identifier named 'string' or the keyword 'string', however, because this classifier is not aware, it relies on certain heuristics to give acceptable results. For classifications where speed trumps accuracy, this function is preferable; however, for true accuracy, the syntactic classifier is ideal. In fact, in certain editing scenarios, combining the lexical, syntactic, and semantic classifiers may issue the best user experience.
Parameters
The text of a line to classify.
The state of the lexical classifier at the end of the previous line.
Whether the client is not using a syntactic classifier. If there is no syntactic classifier (syntacticClassifierAbsent=true), certain heuristics may be used in its place; however, if there is a syntactic classifier (syntacticClassifierAbsent=false), certain classifications which may be incorrectly categorized will be given back as Identifiers in order to allow the syntactic classifier to subsume the classification.
