Tree-sitter

Tree-sitter is a tool that creates detailed, structured representations of code by analyzing its syntax—how the code is organized grammatically. Think of it as building a "grammar tree" that captures the relationships between different parts of code, enabling features like syntax highlighting, code navigation, and error detection in text editors. Unlike simple pattern matching, Tree-sitter understands code structure deeply, making it faster, more accurate, and adaptable to many programming languages. It helps developers write, read, and understand code more effectively by providing real-time, precise insights into the code’s syntax.
