Tree-sitter documentation

What is tree-sitter ?

Neovim 0.5 adds experimental support for tree-sitter, a tool that serves as a parsing library. Parsing your code into a syntax tree allows for manipulating the structure of your code in a more intelligent way than is currently possible with regular expressions. This allows for improved (and faster):

• syntax highlighting
• code navigation
• refactoring
• text objects and motions

See the tree-sitter official website for more details. The support is experimental but if you feel adventurous, you can use the following plugin to install the language-specific tree-sitter grammars.
