To audit hexagonal architecture boundaries, you can analyze the abstract syntax tree to identify and map ports, adapters, and boundary layers without reading full files. This structural analysis reports dependency directions and interface implementations deterministically.

AST-based static analysis for code structure mapping parses the abstract syntax tree to identify classes, method signatures, and module boundaries. It determines code shape and SOLID principle adherence deterministically using syntax tree outputs rather than performing full-file text reads.

Yes, you can analyze cross-language projects to locate interface implementations by applying structural queries across the codebase. AST-based analysis scopes to multiple languages to enumerate method signatures and find adapter classes implementing specific ports.

To identify coupling and dependency direction in a microservices repository, apply AST-based queries to map module boundaries. This structural analysis exposes how services interact and enforces architectural layering rules without requiring full-file reads.

Yes, ast-grep works for enforcing SOLID principles by running deterministic structural queries against the codebase. It identifies structural boundaries and implementations by parsing ASTs, enabling auditing of interface adherence and dependency isolation.

You should not use AST-based structural analysis when you need to evaluate runtime behavior, dynamic dispatch, or business logic correctness, as it only reports deterministic code-shape patterns and static structural boundaries without executing the code.
