digitalmars.D - Use dmd as a frontend

Hello  all,

i am trying to get dmd as a frontend working, because i want to 
implement a new type of lsp.
No luck so far either via LLMs or web searches. I can use 
'libparse' but I saw the DConf video on the dmd as a lib video.

Does anybody have a very simple example 'dub.json' and 'main.d' 
with extracting symbols from a D file, to see how I could get 
something compiling at least?

Kind regards,
Max
