tree-sitter-c-sharp
C# grammar for tree-sitter based upon the Roslyn grammar with changes in order to:
- Deal with differences between the parsing technologies
- Work around some bugs in that grammar
- Handle
#if
,#else
,#elif
,#endif
blocks - Support syntax highlighting/parsing of fragments
- Simplify the output tree
Status

async
,var
andawait
