About:
Tree-sitter is a parser generator tool and an incremental parsing library. It builds a concrete syntax tree for source files and can efficiently update that tree as the source changes. Its main value is providing fast, robust parsing for use in developer tools like syntax highlighters and code formatters.
Key Features:
  • Incremental parsing for high performance on changes
  • Generates conflict-free, unambiguous grammars
  • Supports over 50 programming languages
  • Error-tolerant parsing with graceful recovery
Use Cases:
  • Building IDE features like syntax highlighting and code folding
  • Developing static analysis and refactoring tools
  • Creating fast code search and navigation utilities
Alternatives:
  • ANTLR – General-purpose parser generator, but not focused on incremental parsing by default
  • Flex/Bison – Classic tools that generate LALR parsers, but require more manual work for incremental updates
