How to implement chrome debugging protocol for a non-chrome application?

I have an application with V8 embedded in it and I want to make it debuggable via Chrome, but am having trouble getting started.

I've looked through this:

https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/debugger-protocol#protocol

and I have looked through the requests made back and forth during the process, but wanted to better understand the process I'd make this work.

I had originally thought the debugger UI was provided by the client/debugging chrome instance, but I'm seeing that it's provided by the host chrome if I'm reading things correctly:



<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="object-src 'none'; script-src 'self' 'unsafe-eval' https://chrome-devtools-frontend.appspot.com">
    <script type="text/javascript" src="inspector.js"></script> <<===== HERE
</head>
<body class="undocked" id="-blink-dev-tools"></body>
</html>

Is there any way to get this from the client chrome? Or would I have to embed it in my application?

Can anyone comment on this or just in general if I'm even looking down the right path for this?

Thank you.

I do not know whether V8 supports the Chrome debugging protocol, though.

Perhaps google-chrome-developer-tools or v8-users will be more helpful...

V8 doesn't support it, that's why I'm trying to write it.

Any help/insight/guidance in getting started writing a compliant "host" is what I'm looking for. A minimum set of messages to respond to to see some functionality.. or anything at all to help me know I'm barking up the right tree would be great.

Thank you.

Well, I did tell you that you might be barking at the wrong tree. :) google-chrome-developer-tools is the place for this discussion.
