# Wood - Tree manipulation library

Wood is a library for creating, manipulating & rewriting trees,

in particular Abstract Syntax Trees (ASTs).

Wood was extracted from a source to source compiler I worked on for

Marft Inc. in 2013/14.

Marft has granted me the rights to this library, so I'm releasing it under the

3-clause BSD license (see LICENSE file).

The compiler that was built using this library (which was then called Forest)

translated a subset of ANSI C to multiple target languages, including Java, C#

and JavaScript.

Wood provides an easy to use DSL for searching & rewriting whole sub-trees

in place, which can be used for things like subsequently translating a parse tree

into a target language tree (in the compiler project's case to Java::AST,

CSharp::AST and JavaScript::AST trees).

You can find some example tree node definitions & rewriting rules in the

examples directory.
