About:
Tree-sitter CLI is the official command-line interface for the tree-sitter parser generator toolkit. It enables developers to generate, test, and manage parsers for programming languages using an efficient, incremental parsing architecture. This tool is essential for creating robust syntax highlighting, code analysis, and language server features.
Key Features:
  • Generates fast, incremental parsers from grammar definitions
  • Provides commands for testing and debugging parsers
  • Supports multiple output languages including C, Rust, and JavaScript
  • Enables parser generation for syntax highlighting and code analysis
Use Cases:
  • Building custom syntax highlighters for code editors
  • Creating language servers for IDE integration
  • Developing static analysis and refactoring tools
  • Generating parsers for domain-specific languages
Alternatives:
  • ANTLR – More heavyweight with runtime dependencies, supports more complex grammar features
  • Bison/Yacc – Traditional LALR parser generators requiring more manual setup, less incremental
