parser generator tool and incremental parsing library

Index | textproc

Description

Tree-sitter is a parser generator tool and an incremental parsing library. It
can build a concrete syntax tree for a source file and efficiently update the
syntax tree as the source file is edited.

Tree-sitter aims to be:

  General enough to parse any programming language
  Fast enough to parse on every keystroke in a text editor
  Robust enough to provide useful results even in the presence of syntax errors
  Dependency-free so that the runtime library (which is written in pure C) can
  be embedded in any application
