tree-sitter
A parser generator tool and incremental parsing library for building syntax trees in programming tools.
What is tree-sitter?
Tree-sitter is a parser generator tool and incremental parsing library that builds and updates concrete syntax trees for source code. It enables programming tools like text editors and IDEs to perform real-time language analysis, syntax highlighting, and code navigation by efficiently parsing code as it changes.
Developers building programming tools such as text editors, IDEs, linters, or code analysis applications that require real-time parsing and syntax tree manipulation.
Developers choose Tree-sitter for its incremental parsing capability, which allows for efficient updates to syntax trees without full re-parsing, its support for multiple languages, and its embeddable, dependency-free C runtime that integrates easily into various applications.
