structureroots

Structureroots is a software library designed to assist developers in parsing and manipulating the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) of various programming languages. It aims to provide a unified and language-agnostic approach to code analysis and transformation. The core concept behind structureroots is to represent code not as raw text, but as a structured tree of nodes, where each node represents a syntactic element such as a variable, function call, or statement.

The library supports multiple programming languages through plugins, allowing users to work with different codebases using a consistent API. This enables tasks like code linting, refactoring, static analysis, and code generation. By abstracting away language-specific parsing details, structureroots simplifies the development of tools that operate on code structure. Developers can traverse the AST, query for specific patterns, and even modify the tree to alter the code's behavior or structure before it is re-serialized back into source code.

Structureroots is often utilized in scenarios where automated code understanding or modification is required. Its design emphasizes extensibility, allowing new language parsers to be integrated relatively easily. This makes it a valuable component for building sophisticated development tools and contributing to the broader ecosystem of software engineering automation.
