It generates a syntax tree representation of Swift programs, which can be used for code analysis, transformation, linting, or IDE features. The package provides precompiled wheels for multiple platforms, eliminating the need to build the grammar locally in most cases.\n\nThe grammar is maintained actively and designed to work with tree-sitter's core parser engine. It can be used from Python, Rust, JavaScript/Node.js, or WebAssembly environments depending on which tree-sitter binding you pair it with. The package itself contains only the language definition; you supply the tree-sitter parser library separately to actually parse code.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to parse Swift code programmatically. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, uses a permissive MIT license, and provides prebuilt wheels for common platforms. The main caveat is that tree-sitter itself must be available in your environment; verify that dependency is clear before installing."},"id":"tree-sitter-swift","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/tree-sitter-swift","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/tree-sitter-swift.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/tree-sitter-swift/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-06-01","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"tree-sitter-swift","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Swift grammar for tree-sitter"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1943531,"position":3415,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.7.3"}
