Field Details

LANGUAGE_VERSION

@Unsigned
public static final int LANGUAGE_VERSION

The latest ABI version that is supported by the current version of the library.

API Note:

The Tree-sitter library is generally backwards-compatible with languages generated using older CLI versions, but is not forwards-compatible.

MIN_COMPATIBLE_LANGUAGE_VERSION

@Unsigned
public static final int MIN_COMPATIBLE_LANGUAGE_VERSION

The earliest ABI version that is supported by the current version of the library.

Constructor Details

Language

public Language(MemorySegment self)
         throws IllegalArgumentException

Creates a new instance from the given language pointer.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If the language version is incompatible.

Implementation Note:

It is up to the caller to ensure that the pointer is valid.

Method Details

load

public static Language load(SymbolLookup symbols,
 String language)
                     throws RuntimeException

Load a language by looking for its function in the given symbols.

Example

String library = System.mapLibraryName("tree-sitter-java");
SymbolLookup symbols = SymbolLookup.libraryLookup(library, Arena.global());
Language language = Language.load(symbols, "tree_sitter_java");

Throws:

RuntimeException - If the language could not be loaded.

getVersion

@Unsigned
public int getVersion()

Get the ABI version number for this language.

When a language is generated by the Tree-sitter CLI, it is assigned an ABI version number that corresponds to the current CLI version.

getSymbolCount

@Unsigned
public int getSymbolCount()

Get the number of distinct node types in this language.

getStateCount

@Unsigned
public int getStateCount()

Get the number of valid states in this language

getFieldCount

@Unsigned
public int getFieldCount()

Get the number of distinct field names in this language

getSymbolName

public @Nullable String getSymbolName(@Unsigned
 short symbol)

Get the node type for the given numerical ID.

getSymbolForName

@Unsigned
public short getSymbolForName(String name,
 boolean isNamed)

Get the numerical ID for the given node type, or 0 if not found.

isNamed

public boolean isNamed(@Unsigned
 short symbol)

Check if the node for the given numerical ID is named.

See Also:

• Node.isNamed()

isVisible

public boolean isVisible(@Unsigned
 short symbol)

Check if the node for the given numerical ID is visible.

getFieldNameForId

public @Nullable String getFieldNameForId(@Unsigned
 short id)

Get the field name for the given numerical id.

getFieldIdForName

@Unsigned
public short getFieldIdForName(String name)

Get the numerical ID for the given field name.

nextState

@Unsigned
public short nextState(@Unsigned
 short state,
 @Unsigned
 short symbol)

Get the next parse state.

short state = language.nextState(node.getParseState(), node.getGrammarSymbol());

Combine this with lookaheadIterator(state) to generate completion suggestions or valid symbols in ERROR nodes.

lookaheadIterator

public LookaheadIterator lookaheadIterator(@Unsigned
 short state)
                                    throws IllegalArgumentException

Create a new lookahead iterator for the given parse state.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If the state is invalid for this language.

query

public Query query(String source)
            throws QueryError

Create a new query from a string containing one or more S-expression patterns.

Throws:

QueryError - If an error occurred while creating the query.

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
