# pest-ast
This is an in-development add-on to the pest parsing library.
Pest-ast provides a structured manner to go from the "dynamically typed" Pest Parse Tree
to a strongly typed (Abstract) Syntax Tree, as well as a derive to do so automatically.
In the future, it's planned to optionally additionally check the source grammar to statically
prevent issues that are currently detected at runtime.
In the _future_ 🦄, pest-ast may provide a way of defining grammar directly on the AST nodes.
This library is now dogfooded for the [nafi](https://github.com/nafi-lang/rust-nafi) programming language.
## Note:
This crate is actually `from-pest`, which provides the trait framework for the said conversion.
[`pest-ast`](./derive/README.md) provides the actual derive for the conversion.
This README is the root of the repository for legacy reasons. This will be corrected in a future reorganization.
