Introduction

Introduction

Tree-sitter is a library for parsing source code. It aims to be:

• Fast and incremental so that it can be used in a text editor
• Robust enough to provide useful results even in the presence of syntax errors
• General enough to parse any programming language
• Dependency-free (and written in pure C) so that it can be embedded in any application
