This is a Kotlin Multiplatform line-by-line transliteration port of tree-sitter/tree-sitter-language.

Original Project: This port is based on tree-sitter/tree-sitter-language. All design credit and project intent belong to the upstream authors; this repository is a faithful port to Kotlin Multiplatform with no behavioural changes intended.

This is an in-progress port. The goal is feature parity with the upstream Rust crate while providing a native Kotlin Multiplatform API. Every Kotlin file carries a // port-lint: source <path> header naming its upstream Rust counterpart so the AST-distance tool can track provenance.

The text below is reproduced and lightly edited from https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter-language. It is the upstream project's own description and remains under the upstream authors' authorship; links have been rewritten to absolute upstream URLs so they continue to resolve from this repository.

Bash grammar for tree-sitter.
