# Oak C# Parser
[](https://crates.io/crates/oak-csharp)
[](https://docs.rs/oak-csharp)
High-performance incremental C# parser for the oak ecosystem with flexible configuration, optimized for code analysis and compilation.
## 🎯 Overview
Oak C# is a robust parser for C#, designed to handle complete C# syntax including modern features. Built on the solid foundation of oak-core, it provides both high-level convenience and detailed AST generation for static analysis and code generation.
## ✨ Features
- **Complete C# Syntax**: Supports all C# features including modern specifications
- **Full AST Generation**: Generates comprehensive Abstract Syntax Trees
- **Lexer Support**: Built-in tokenization with proper span information
- **Error Recovery**: Graceful handling of syntax errors with detailed diagnostics
## 🚀 Quick Start
Basic example:
```rust
use oak_csharp::{Parser, CSharpLanguage, SourceText};
fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
let parser = Parser::new();
let source = SourceText::new(r#"
using System;
class Program {
static void Main() {
Console.WriteLine("Hello, C#!");
}
}
"#);
let result = parser.parse(&source);
println!("Parsed C# successfully.");
Ok(())
}
```
## 📋 Parsing Examples
### Class Parsing
```rust
use oak_csharp::{Parser, CSharpLanguage, SourceText};
let parser = Parser::new();
let source = SourceText::new(r#"
public class Calculator {
public int Add(int a, int b) {
return a + b;
}
public int Subtract(int a, int b) {
return a - b;
}
}
"#);
let result = parser.parse(&source);
println!("Class parsed successfully.");
```
### Interface Parsing
```rust
use oak_csharp::{Parser, CSharpLanguage, SourceText};
let parser = Parser::new();
let source = SourceText::new(r#"
public interface IDrawable {
void Draw();
double Area { get; }
}
public class Circle : IDrawable {
public double Radius { get; set; }
public void Draw() {
Console.WriteLine($"Drawing circle with radius {Radius}");
}
public double Area => Math.PI * Radius * Radius;
}
"#);
let result = parser.parse(&source);
println!("Interface parsed successfully.");
```
## 🔧 Advanced Features
### Token-Level Parsing
```rust
use oak_csharp::{Parser, CSharpLanguage, SourceText};
let parser = Parser::new();
let source = SourceText::new("int x = 42;");
let result = parser.parse(&source);
// Token information is available in the parse result
```
### Error Handling
```rust
use oak_csharp::{Parser, CSharpLanguage, SourceText};
let parser = Parser::new();
let source = SourceText::new(r#"
public class BrokenClass {
public void Method() {
Console.WriteLine("Hello")
// Missing closing brace
"#);
let result = parser.parse(&source);
if let Err(e) = result.result {
println!("Parse error: {:?}", e);
}
```
## 🏗️ AST Structure
The parser generates a comprehensive AST with the following main structures:
- **CompilationUnit**: Root container for C# programs
- **ClassDeclaration**: C# class definitions
- **InterfaceDeclaration**: Interface definitions
- **MethodDeclaration**: Method declarations
- **PropertyDeclaration**: Property declarations
- **Statement**: Various statement types
- **Expression**: Various expression types
## 📊 Performance
- **Streaming**: Parse large C# files without loading entirely into memory
- **Incremental**: Re-parse only changed sections
- **Memory Efficient**: Smart AST node allocation
- **Fast Recovery**: Quick error recovery for better IDE integration
## 🔗 Integration
Oak C# integrates seamlessly with:
- **Static Analysis**: Code quality and security analysis
- **Code Generation**: Generating code from C# AST
- **IDE Support**: Language server protocol compatibility
- **Refactoring**: Automated code refactoring
- **Documentation**: Generating documentation from C# code
