Shiki Syntax Highlighter

• shiki

  26 8,690 9.8 TypeScript

  A beautiful yet powerful syntax highlighter

  

Coincidentally, I recently looked into the slow startup time for shiki and it was mostly from parsing JSONC, not WASM: https://github.com/shikijs/shiki/issues/439.

• tree-sitter

  62 16,555 9.8 Rust

  An incremental parsing system for programming tools

  

Is tree-sitter really slower than TextMate grammars? Some benchmarks indicate that this isn't really the case [1]. On the other hand, breaking parse trees is a real issue, because the error-recovery in tree-sitter is pretty rudimentary [2][3], but as you said, it's not an issue for Shiki.

Several TextMate grammars suffer from inaccuracy bugs, and issues of maintainability. Perhaps the biggest hindrance in the adoption of tree-sitter, is that the most popular editor, VSCode, still doesn't support it.

  5 1,006 5.1 TypeScript

  You take some Shiki, add a hint of TypeScript compiler, and 🎉 incredible static code samples

  

Shiki is awesome for code samples. It’s even better paired with a set of light/dark themes designed to be used together (and I really need to get around to open sourcing my solution for swapping inline styles with classes for that use case, it’s great for using Shiki without a client side runtime).

ALSO awesome is Shiki Twoslash[1], for displaying TypeScript editor feedback in code examples.
