# traverse-solidity
Core Solidity parsing and analysis functionality for the Traverse suite.
## Overview
This crate provides the foundational Solidity parsing capabilities using tree-sitter, enabling syntactic analysis of smart contracts. It serves as the backbone for all Traverse tools that need to understand Solidity code structure.
## Features
- Fast, incremental parsing using tree-sitter
- Complete Solidity syntax support
- AST traversal utilities
- Source location tracking
- Comment preservation
## Usage
```rust
use traverse_solidity::parse_solidity;
fn main() {
let source_code = r#"
contract Example {
function hello() public pure returns (string memory) {
return "Hello, World!";
}
}
"#;
let tree = parse_solidity(source_code);
// Process the syntax tree
}
```
## Tree-sitter Grammar
This crate uses a customized tree-sitter grammar for Solidity that provides comprehensive coverage of Solidity syntax including:
- All contract types (contracts, interfaces, libraries, abstract contracts)
- Solidity 0.8+ features
- Inline assembly (Yul)
- NatSpec comments
## Part of Traverse
This crate is part of the [Traverse](https://github.com/calltrace/traverse) suite of tools for Solidity code analysis, visualization, and test generation.
