+
+<p>Emacs provides various ways to parse program source text and produce a
+<em>syntax tree</em>. In a syntax tree, text is no longer a
+one-dimensional stream but a structured tree of nodes, where each node
+representing a piece of text. Thus a syntax tree can enable
+interesting features like precise fontification, indentation,
+navigation, structured editing, etc.
+</p>
+<p>Emacs has a simple facility for parsing balanced expressions
+(see <a href="Parsing-Expressions.html">Parsing Expressions</a>). There is also SMIE library for generic
+navigation and indentation (see <a href="SMIE.html">Simple Minded Indentation Engine</a>).
+</p>
+<p>Emacs also provides integration with tree-sitter library
+(<a href="https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter">https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter</a>) if compiled with
+it. The tree-sitter library implements an incremental parser and has
+support from a wide range of programming languages.

+<dd><p>This function returns non-nil if tree-sitter features are available
+for this Emacs instance.
+</p></dd></dl>
+
+<p>For tree-sitter integration with existing Emacs features,

+<a href="List-Motion.html">Moving over Balanced Expressions</a>.
+</p>
+<p>To access the syntax tree of the text in a buffer, we need to first
+load a language definition and create a parser with it. Next, we can
+query the parser for specific nodes in the syntax tree. Then, we can
+access various information about the node, and we can pattern-match a
+node with a powerful syntax. Finally, we explain how to work with
+source files that mixes multiple languages. The following sections
+explain how to do each of the tasks in detail.
