Go API Reference v1.9.1¶

Functions¶

DetectLanguageFromExtension()¶

Detect language name from a file extension (without leading dot).

Returns nil for unrecognized extensions. The match is case-insensitive.

Signature:

func DetectLanguageFromExtension(ext string) *string

Example:

result := DetectLanguageFromExtension("value")

Parameters:

Returns: *string

DetectLanguageFromPath()¶

Detect language name from a file path.

Extracts the file extension and looks it up. Returns nil if the path has no extension or the extension is not recognized.

Signature:

func DetectLanguageFromPath(path string) *string

Example:

result := DetectLanguageFromPath("value")

Parameters:

Returns: *string

DetectLanguageFromContent()¶

Detect language name from file content using the shebang line (#!).

Inspects only the first line of content. If it begins with #!, the interpreter name is extracted and mapped to a language name.

Handles common patterns:

• #!/usr/bin/env python3 → "python"
• #!/bin/bash → "bash"
• #!/usr/bin/env node → "javascript"

The -S flag accepted by some env implementations is skipped automatically. Version suffixes (e.g. python3.11, ruby3.2) are stripped before matching.

Returns nil when content does not start with #!, the shebang is malformed, or the interpreter is not recognised.

Signature:

func DetectLanguageFromContent(content string) *string

Example:

result := DetectLanguageFromContent("value")

Parameters:

Returns: *string

GetHighlightsQuery()¶

Get the highlights query for a language, if bundled.

Errors: Returns error.

GetParser()¶

Get a Parser pre-configured for the given language.

This is a convenience function that calls get_language and configures a new parser in one step.

Errors:

Returns Error.LanguageNotFound if the language is not recognized, or Error.ParserSetup if the language cannot be applied to the parser.

Signature:

func GetParser(name string) (Parser, error)

AvailableLanguages()¶

List all available language names (sorted, deduplicated, includes aliases).

Returns names of both statically compiled and dynamically loadable languages, plus any configured aliases.

Signature:

func AvailableLanguages() []string

Example:

result := AvailableLanguages()

Returns: []string

HasLanguage()¶

Check if a language is available by name or alias.

Returns true if the language can be loaded (statically compiled, dynamically available, or a known alias for one of these).

Parameters:

Returns: bool

LanguageCount()¶

Return the number of available languages.

Includes statically compiled languages, dynamically loadable languages, and aliases.

if err != nil {
    return err
}

Parameters:

Returns: ProcessResult

Applies any custom cache directory, then downloads all languages and groups specified in the config. This is the recommended entry point when you want to pre-warm the cache before use.

Errors:

Returns an error if configuration cannot be applied or if downloads fail.

Signature:

func Init(config PackConfig) error

Example:

if err := Init(PackConfig{}); err != nil {
    return err
}

Parameters:

Returns: No return value.

Errors: Returns error.

Configure()¶

Apply download configuration without downloading anything.

Use this to set a custom cache directory before the first call to get_language or any download function. Changing the cache dir after languages have been registered has no effect on already-loaded languages.

Errors:

Returns an error if the lock cannot be acquired.

Signature:

func Configure(config PackConfig) error

Example:

if err := Configure(PackConfig{}); err != nil {
    return err
}

Parameters:

func Download(names []string) (int, error)

Example:

result, err := Download(nil)
if err != nil {
    return err
}

Parameters:

Returns: int

Errors: Returns error.

DownloadAll()¶

Download all available languages from the remote manifest.

Downloads the platform bundle and extracts every library it contains. Languages that appear in the manifest but are absent from the bundle (e.g. grammars that failed to compile at release time) are silently skipped — they are not treated as an error.

Returns the total number of languages now available (statically compiled plus downloaded and cached).

Errors:

Returns an error if the manifest cannot be fetched or the bundle download fails.

Signature:

func DownloadAll() (int, error)

Example:

result, err := DownloadAll()
if err != nil {
    return err
}

Returns: int

Errors: Returns error.

DownloadGroup()¶

Download every language in a named group (e.g. "web", "data").

Groups are defined in the remote manifest and let you ensure a curated set of related grammars in one call instead of listing each name to download(). Already-cached languages are skipped.

Returns the total number of languages now available (statically compiled plus downloaded and cached).

Errors:

Returns an error if the manifest cannot be fetched, the group is unknown, or any constituent language fails to download.

Signature:

func DownloadGroup(name string) (int, error)

Example:

result, err := DownloadGroup("value")
if err != nil {
    return err
}

Parameters:

Returns: int

Errors: Returns error.

ManifestLanguages()¶

Return all language names available in the remote manifest (306).

Fetches (and caches) the remote manifest to discover the full list of downloadable languages. Use downloaded_languages to list what is already cached locally.

Errors:

Returns an error if the manifest cannot be fetched.

Signature:

func ManifestLanguages() ([]string, error)

Example:

result, err := ManifestLanguages()
if err != nil {
    return err
}

Returns: []string

Errors: Returns error.

DownloadedLanguages()¶

Does not perform any network requests. Returns an empty list if the cache directory does not exist or cannot be read.

Signature:

func DownloadedLanguages() []string

Example:

result := DownloadedLanguages()

Returns: []string

CleanCache()¶

Delete all cached parser shared libraries.

Resets the cache registration so the next call to get_language or a download function will re-register the (now empty) cache directory.

Errors:

Returns an error if the cache directory cannot be removed.

Signature:

func CleanCache() error

Example:

if err := CleanCache(); err != nil {
    return err
}

Returns: No return value.

Errors: Returns error.

CacheDir()¶

Return the effective cache directory path.

This is either the custom path set via configure / init or the default: ~/.cache/tree-sitter-language-pack/v{version}/libs/.

Errors:

Returns an error if the system cache directory cannot be determined.

Signature:

func CacheDir() (string, error)

Example:

result, err := CacheDir()
if err != nil {
    return err
}

Returns: string

Errors: Returns error.

Types¶

ByteRange¶

A byte range — start (inclusive) to end (exclusive).

ChunkContext¶

Metadata for a single chunk of source code.

CodeChunk¶

A chunk of source code with rich metadata.

CommentInfo¶

A comment extracted from source code.

DataAttribute¶

An XML-style attribute attached to an Element node.

Populated only for DataNodeKind.Element; always empty for KeyValue and Sequence nodes.

DataNode¶

A node in the hierarchical data tree produced by data-format extraction.

When ProcessConfig.data_extraction is true, ProcessResult.data is populated with a root DataNode whose children mirror the structure of the parsed file.

The kind field determines which other fields are meaningful:

Diagnostic¶

A diagnostic (syntax error, missing node, etc.) from parsing.

DocSection¶

A section within a docstring (e.g., Args, Returns, Raises).

DocstringInfo¶

A docstring extracted from source code.

DownloadManager¶

Manages downloading and caching of pre-built parser shared libraries.

Methods¶

New()¶

Create a new download manager for the given version.

Signature:

func (o *DownloadManager) New(version string) (DownloadManager, error)

Example:

result, err := DownloadManager.New("value")
if err != nil {
    return err
}

Parameters:

Returns: DownloadManager

Errors: Returns error.

InstalledLanguages()¶

List languages that are already downloaded and cached.

Signature:

func (o *DownloadManager) InstalledLanguages() []string

Example:

result := instance.InstalledLanguages()

Returns: []string

DownloadAllBestEffort()¶

Download the platform bundle and extract every library file it contains.

Unlike Self.ensure_languages, this does not check the manifest language list against archive contents — it simply extracts all .so/.dylib/.dll files from the bundle. Languages in the manifest that are missing from the archive are silently ignored rather than returning an error.

Returns the number of library files extracted (including those already cached).

Signature:

func (o *DownloadManager) DownloadAllBestEffort() (int, error)

Example:

result, err := instance.DownloadAllBestEffort()
if err != nil {
    return err
}

Returns: int

Errors: Returns error.

CleanCache()¶

Remove all cached parser libraries.

Acquires the cross-process lock so clean_cache cannot race a concurrent downloader (avoids Windows sharing-violation errors against an in-flight bundle write). The .download.lock file itself is not removed — it is permanent infrastructure; deleting it could allow a concurrent process that already opened the file to continue holding a stale lock handle while a new process opens a fresh inode, breaking the mutual-exclusion guarantee.

Signature:

func (o *DownloadManager) CleanCache() error

Example:

if err := instance.CleanCache(); err != nil {
    return err
}

Returns: No return value.

Errors: Returns error.

ExportInfo¶

An export statement extracted from source code.

FileMetrics¶

Aggregate metrics for a source file.

ImportInfo¶

An import statement extracted from source code.

Language¶

LanguageRegistry¶

Thread-safe registry of tree-sitter language parsers.

Manages both statically compiled and dynamically loaded language grammars. Use LanguageRegistry.new() for the default registry, or access the global instance via the module-level convenience functions (get_language, available_languages, etc.).

Methods¶

New()¶

Create a new registry populated with all statically compiled languages.

When the dynamic-loading feature is enabled, the registry also knows about dynamically loadable grammars and will load them on demand.

Signature:

func (o *LanguageRegistry) New() LanguageRegistry

Example:

result := LanguageRegistry.New()

Returns: LanguageRegistry

GetLanguage()¶

Get a tree-sitter Language by name.

Resolves aliases (e.g., "shell" -> "bash", "makefile" -> "make"), then looks up the language in the static table. When the dynamic-loading feature is enabled, falls back to loading a shared library on demand.

Errors:

Returns Error.LanguageNotFound if the name (after alias resolution) does not match any known grammar.

Signature:

func (o *LanguageRegistry) GetLanguage(name string) (Language, error)

Example:

result, err := instance.GetLanguage("value")
if err != nil {
    return err
}

Parameters:

Returns: Language

Errors: Returns error.

AvailableLanguages()¶

List all available language names, sorted and deduplicated.

Includes statically compiled languages, dynamically loadable languages (if the dynamic-loading feature is enabled), and all configured aliases.

Signature:

func (o *LanguageRegistry) AvailableLanguages() []string

Example:

result := instance.AvailableLanguages()

Returns: []string

HasParser()¶

Check whether a parser is statically compiled into this build.

Returns true only when the grammar was compiled in at build time (i.e. it appears in the STATIC_LANGUAGES table). This is independent of the extension-to-language mapping: detect_language_from_extension consults the static ext table for all 306 grammars regardless of which parsers are compiled in.

Use this when you need to distinguish "we know the language name" from "we can actually parse files in that language right now".

use tree_sitter_language_pack::{detect_language_from_extension, LanguageRegistry};

let registry = LanguageRegistry::new();
// Extension detection uses the static table — independent of compiled parsers.
let lang = detect_language_from_extension("feature"); // always returns Some("gherkin")
// Parser availability depends on which grammars were compiled in.
let can_parse = lang.map(|name| registry.has_parser(name)).unwrap_or(false);

Signature:

func (o *LanguageRegistry) HasParser(name string) bool

Example:

result := instance.HasParser("value")

Parameters:

Returns: bool

HasLanguage()¶

Returns true if the language can be loaded, either from the static table or from a dynamic library on disk.

Signature:

func (o *LanguageRegistry) HasLanguage(name string) bool

Example:

result := instance.HasLanguage("value")

Parameters:

Returns: bool

LanguageCount()¶

Return the total number of available languages (including aliases).

Classifies each node in the hierarchical DataNode tree returned when data_extraction is enabled on ProcessConfig.

Wire format (public JSON contract)¶

Unit variants serialize as a bare string ("KeyValue"). DO NOT add #[serde(tag = "...")] or rename variants — every language binding has a hand-written deserializer matching this exact shape, and any change breaks all bindings' process() tests simultaneously. Covered by tests/wire_format.rs.

StructureKind¶

The kind of structural item found in source code.

Categorizes top-level and nested declarations such as functions, classes, structs, enums, traits, and more. Use Other for language-specific constructs that do not fit a standard category.

Wire format (public JSON contract)¶

Unit variants serialize as a bare string ("Function"); the Other variant serializes as a single-keyed object ({"Other": "macro"}). DO NOT add #[serde(tag = "...")] or rename variants — every language binding has a hand-written deserializer matching this exact shape, and any change breaks all bindings' process() tests simultaneously. Covered by tests/wire_format.rs.

CommentKind¶

The kind of a comment found in source code.

Distinguishes between single-line comments, block (multi-line) comments, and documentation comments.

DocstringFormat¶

The format of a docstring extracted from source code.

Identifies the docstring convention used, which varies by language (e.g., Python triple-quoted strings, JSDoc, Rustdoc /// comments).

Wire format (public JSON contract)¶

Unit variants serialize as a bare string ("JSDoc"); the Other variant serializes as a single-keyed object ({"Other": "rst"}). DO NOT add #[serde(tag = "...")]. Covered by tests/wire_format.rs.

ExportKind¶

The kind of an export statement found in source code.

Covers named exports, default exports, and re-exports from other modules.

SymbolKind¶

The kind of a symbol definition found in source code.

Categorizes symbol definitions such as variables, constants, functions, classes, types, interfaces, enums, and modules.

Wire format (public JSON contract)¶

Unit variants serialize as a bare string ("Function"); the Other variant serializes as a single-keyed object ({"Other": "macro"}). DO NOT add #[serde(tag = "...")]. Covered by tests/wire_format.rs.

DiagnosticSeverity¶

Severity level of a diagnostic produced during parsing.

Used to classify parse errors, warnings, and informational messages found in the syntax tree.

Errors¶

Error¶

Errors that can occur when using the tree-sitter language pack.
