# tree-sitter-rust
[![Build/test](https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter-rust/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter-rust/actions/workflows/ci.yml)

Rust grammar for [tree-sitter](https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter)
## Features
* **Speed** - When initially parsing a file, `tree-sitter-rust` takes around twice as long as Rustc's hand-coded parser.

```sh
$ wc -l examples/ast.rs
2157 examples/ast.rs
$ rustc -Z ast-json-noexpand -Z time-passes examples/ast.rs | head -n1
time: 0.007 parsing # (7 ms)
time: 0.007 parsing # (7 ms)
$ tree-sitter parse examples/ast.rs --quiet --time
examples/ast.rs 16 ms
examples/ast.rs 16 ms
```
But if you *edit* the file after parsing it, this parser can generally *update* the previous existing syntax tree to reflect your edit in less than a millisecond, thanks to Tree-sitter's incremental parsing system.
