A Haskell library and command-line tool from GitHub for parsing, analyzing, and comparing source code across many languages, producing parse trees, symbol lists, and stack graphs. It powered code navigation on github.com but is no longer maintained by GitHub.

Use cases

• parse source files into s-expression ASTs
• extract symbol lists from code for navigation
• compare or diff source code across languages
• analyze code structure in Python, JavaScript, Go, Ruby, and more
• build code navigation indexes with stack graphs

When to choose

• you need multi-language AST parsing or symbol extraction from the command line
• you want to study or fork a mature Haskell code-analysis codebase
• you need s-expression or protobuf symbol output for tooling

When to avoid

• you need maintained software with bug fixes and support
• you require Windows support without Docker
• you want a lightweight dependency for a modern pipeline - tree-sitter CLI may fit better
