		Full Moon


		

	



A lossless Lua 5.1 / 5.2 / 5.3 / 5.4 / [Luau](https://luau-lang.org/) parser written in Rust.

## Lossless?

Full Moon preserves comments, whitespace, style choices, etc. With Full Moon, you're able to convert your Lua code into an AST and a syntax tree and convert it back to the original code exactly.

Using Full Moon, you'll be able to modify the AST directly and re-export it back to Lua, all while preserving the style in which you write.

## Why?

Full Moon is usable in projects such as:

- Static analysis (like Luacheck or [rust-clippy](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy))

- Static typing (like TypeScript)

- Automatic mass code refactoring (like [jscodeshift](https://github.com/facebook/jscodeshift))

- Automatic code formatting (like [rustfmt](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustfmt))

- An [LSP Server](https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/) for Lua

## Inspiration

Full Moon is heavily inspired by [LPGhatguy's mab](https://github.com/LPGhatguy/mab/) and by the possibilities brought on by [benjamn's recast](https://github.com/benjamn/recast).
