# `tree-house`
This repository contains a number of crates used by the [Helix editor](https://github.com/helix-editor/helix) for integration with the [tree-sitter](https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter) C library.
Most notably the highlighter crate [`tree-house`](https://crates.io/crates/tree-house) provides Helix's syntax highlighting and all other tree-sitter features since the 25.07 release. The highlighter was rewritten from scratch for simplification and to fix a number of bugs. Read more in the [25.07 release highlights](https://helix-editor.com/news/release-25-07-highlights/#tree-house).
Documentation is a work-in-progress and these crates may see breaking changes as we expand our use of Tree-sitter in Helix.
* `bindings/` contains the `tree-house-bindings` crate which provides Rust bindings over the C library and optional integration with the [Ropey](https://github.com/cessen/ropey) rope crate.
* `highlighter/` contains the `tree-house` crate which exposes a robust highlighter and query iterator for working across [injections].
* `skidder/` contains the `skidder` crate which exposes utilities for building a package repository for tree-sitter grammars.
* `cli/` contains the `skidder-cli` crate which wraps `skidder` in a command line interface.
