Introduction
Tree-sitter is an incremental parsing library. It can be used to build a concrete syntax tree for a source file and to 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 (and written in pure C) so that it 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:
