What is the purpose the the package [JuliaWorkspaces](https://github.com/julia-vscode/JuliaWorkspaces.jl)?

It seams to be an important component of the VSCode Julia plugin. But which requirements does this package implement that justify that it is a separate package?

- what is a Julia workspace ?
- which functions or other services does the package provide?
- which data structures does it provide?
- what is the input data?
- how can it be used?

Improving the Julia VSCode plugin requires a better documentation and better understanding of the packages that it uses.
