## About this project
CAP CDS grammar for tree-sitter.
> 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:
- https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter/
You can use tree-sitter-cds to highlight CAP CDS files in Neovim and
to query the concrete syntax tree of CDS files.
This project followed the instructions of the [tree-sitter guide].
## Documentation
Please refer to the `docs/` folder. It contains:
- [Development](./docs/development.md)
- [Contributing](./CONTRIBUTING.md)
- [Neovim Support](./docs/neovim-support.md)
- [CDS Compiler Differences](./docs/cds-compiler-differences.md)
## Download and Installation
If you want to use tree-sitter-cds in Neovim for syntax highlighting,
please see [Neovim Support](./docs/neovim-support.md) for an
installation guide.
Documentation on Node.js and Rust language bindings is work-in-progress.
## Requirements
If you want to use tree-sitter-cds in Neovim for syntax highlighting,
please see [Neovim Support](./docs/neovim-support.md) for requirements.
For local development setup, see [Development Docs](./docs/development.md).
## How to obtain support
This project is open to feature requests/suggestions, bug reports etc.
via [GitHub issues](https://github.com/cap-js-community/tree-sitter-cds/issues).
Contribution and feedback are encouraged and always welcome.
For more information about how to contribute, the project structure,
as well as additional contribution information, see our [Contribution Guidelines](CONTRIBUTING.md)
as well as our [development documentation](./docs/development.md).
## Features & Roadmap
This project contains a tree-sitter grammar for [CAP CDS](https://cap.cloud.sap/).
The main goal of this project it to provide syntax highlighting, e.g. for [Neovim](./docs/neovim-support.md).
It is _not_ a 100% CAP CDS compatible parser. There are places that this grammar
can't parse properly, yet. There is also no error reporting by tree-sitter and
the syntax tree can change any time, as this project is not complete, yet.
In the future, we may try to add support for [stack-graphs by GitHub][stack-graphs].
