treesitter

You can extract functions and classes from source code files by parsing them with tree-sitter to map symbol hierarchies. This process identifies code structures across single files, directories, or snippets and outputs structured JSON metadata for downstream tooling.

Parsing code structure across multiple programming languages is best handled by tree-sitter, which automatically detects languages and extracts symbol metadata. It provides a language-agnostic method to map functions and classes from diverse source files into structured JSON.

Yes, you can extract code symbols from an entire project directory by running the symbol extraction script on the target folder. It scans the directory to map symbol hierarchies and outputs structured JSON containing the discovered functions, classes, and methods.

No, tree-sitter symbol extraction does not require language-specific configuration because it automatically detects the language. It can operate on individual files, folders, or code snippets to map symbol hierarchies without manual setup for each programming language.

To get structured JSON output from parsed code symbols, run the extraction script on your target files or directories. The parsing process identifies functions, classes, and methods, then formats these symbol hierarchies into structured JSON ready for downstream tooling.

You need to map code symbol hierarchies for downstream tooling when integrating code structure analysis into editors or Distill workflows. Extracting symbols into structured JSON allows other tools to navigate large codebases and parameterize code blocks effectively.
