//! Syntax Tree library used throughout the rust analyzer.
//!
//! Properties:
//!   - easy and fast incremental re-parsing
//!   - graceful handling of errors
//!   - full-fidelity representation (*any* text can be precisely represented as
//!     a syntax tree)
//!
//! For more information, see the [RFC]. Current implementation is inspired by
//! the [Swift] one.
//!
//! The most interesting modules here are `syntax_node` (which defines concrete
//! syntax tree) and `ast` (which defines abstract syntax tree on top of the
//! CST). The actual parser live in a separate `ra_parser` crate, though the
//! lexer lives in this crate.
//!
//! See `api_walkthrough` test in this file for a quick API tour!
//!
//! [RFC]: <https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2256>
//! [Swift]: <https://github.com/apple/swift/blob/13d593df6f359d0cb2fc81cfaac273297c539455/lib/Syntax/README.md>
