tree-sitter-cli
brew install tree-sitter-cli
v0.26.9
MIT
Command-line parser generator that creates fast, incremental parsers from grammar rules written in JavaScript.
Why you might care
Tree-sitter generates parsers for syntax highlighting, code navigation, and refactoring tools—it's incremental (re-parses only changed code) and language-agnostic. Widely used in editors (Neovim, Helix) and LSP servers. If you're building language tooling, tree-sitter's compiled parsers are orders of magnitude faster than regex-based approaches.
