+Tree-sitter is a parser generator tool and an incremental parsing library. It
+can build a concrete syntax tree for a source file and efficiently update the
+syntax tree as the source file is edited. Tree-sitter aims to be:
+
+- General enough to parse any programming language
+- Fast enough to parse on every keystroke in a text editor
+- Robust enough to provide useful results even in the presence of syntax
+ errors
+- Dependency-free so that the runtime library (which is written in pure C)
+ can be embedded in any application
