Struct Symbol 

pub struct Symbol {
    pub name: String,
    pub kind: SymbolKind,
    pub signature: String,
    pub docstring: Option<String>,
    pub attributes: Vec<String>,
    pub start_line: usize,
    pub end_line: usize,

}

A code symbol extracted from source

Fields

name: String

The symbol’s unqualified name.

kind: SymbolKind

Classification of the symbol (function, class, heading, etc.).

signature: String

Full signature string (e.g., fn foo(x: i32) -> bool). Empty if not applicable.

docstring: Option<String>

Documentation comment or docstring attached to this symbol, if present.

attributes: Vec<String>

Language-specific decorators, annotations, or attributes (e.g., #[derive(...)] in Rust, @decorator in Python). Each entry is the raw text of one attribute.

start_line: usize

1-based line number where the symbol starts.

end_line: usize

1-based line number where the symbol ends (inclusive).

visibility: Visibility

Visibility of the symbol.

children: Vec<Symbol>

Nested symbols (e.g., methods inside a class). Empty for leaf symbols.

is_interface_impl: bool

True if this symbol implements an interface/trait (e.g., method in impl Trait for Type)

implements: Vec<String>

Parent interfaces/classes this symbol extends or implements (for semantic matching)

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Symbol

fn clone(&self) -> Symbol

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Symbol

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result<(), Error>

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<'de> Deserialize<'de> for Symbol

fn deserialize<__D>( __deserializer: __D, ) -> Result<Symbol, <__D as Deserializer<'de>>::Error>

where __D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl Serialize for Symbol

fn serialize<__S>( &self, __serializer: __S, ) -> Result<<__S as Serializer>::Ok, <__S as Serializer>::Error>

where __S: Serializer,

Serialize this value into the given Serde serializer.
