C# bindings to the Tree-sitter parsing library

csharp-tree-sitter

==================

Introduction

This module provides C# bindings to the tree-sitter parsing library, which can enable c# developers be able to invoke the tree-sitter libraries through P/Invoke from their c# code.

Cloning

This repo includes the needed tree-sitter repos as submodules. Remember to use the --recursive option with git clone.

git clone https://github.com/tree-sitter/csharp-tree-sitter.git --recursive

Building

Requirements:

• Windows-only (the Makefile in the tree-sitter has OS-specific stuff in it so far)
• .NET 7

We'll first need to build the dependencies, and then the C# project.

• get dependencies built
  • cd tree-sitter
  • nmake
  • cd ..
• dotnet build csharp-tree-sitter.csproj

Testing

A good demo is the following, it is a test written in c# which walks the AST tree in post order by calling tree-sitter-cpp parser with these bindings.

Assuming you're in VS Code:

• navigate to a C++ file to be parsed
• press F5 to run with the default 'launch' configuration

Otherwise, you may manually run with:

csharp-tree-sitter.exe -files [your test cpp files]
