A Neovim plugin that manages installation and updating of tree-sitter parsers and provides a collection of queries enabling tree-sitter features like syntax highlighting and code navigation. It also serves as a staging ground for tree-sitter-based features being considered for upstreaming into Neovim.

Use cases

  • install tree-sitter parsers in neovim
  • enable better syntax highlighting in neovim
  • keep language parsers updated automatically
  • get treesitter queries for many programming languages
  • improve code folding and indentation in neovim
  • set up tree-sitter for rust javascript and other languages

When to choose

  • you use Neovim 0.12+ and want tree-sitter-powered highlighting and navigation
  • you want a single tool to install, update, and remove parsers across many languages
  • you want to try tree-sitter features before they land in Neovim core

When to avoid

  • you run an older Neovim version and cannot use the new incompatible rewrite
  • you use another editor like VS Code that has built-in tree-sitter support
  • you cannot install a C compiler or tree-sitter-cli on your system
