Introduction
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
Language Bindings
There are currently bindings that allow Tree-sitter to be used from the following languages:
Available Parsers
Parsers for these languages are fairly complete:
Parsers for these languages are in development:

Underlying Research
The design of Tree-sitter was greatly influenced by the following research papers:
