tree-sitter-queries

What problem does it solve?

Writing and maintaining tree-sitter queries for syntax highlighting, code analysis, and editor tooling can be complex and error-prone, requiring precise pattern matching of language syntax trees.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Write tree-sitter queries using S-expression syntax to match language nodes.
• Use captures, predicates, quantifiers, anchors, and field names to extract and constrain matches.
• Build queries for syntax highlighting, code analysis, and editor features across multiple languages.
• Understand the difference between tree-sitter queries and ast-grep patterns to choose the right approach.

Quick Start

Write a simple tree-sitter query to capture function names from a source file.
