The Yoakke Compiler Infrastructure

Language- and Compiler development tools in .NET.

<!-- ALL-CONTRIBUTORS-BADGE:START - Do not remove or modify this section --> <!-- ALL-CONTRIBUTORS-BADGE:END -->

What is Yoakke?

Yoakke is a collection of libraries aimed at compiler- and language developers to help them in their development. Most common tasks - like lexing and parsing - are completely automated, but extensibility is kept in mind at every step. All components let you roll your custom solution, but are capable enough to fit most cases by default.

Status warning

Yoakke is still early in development. You can play around with the libraries, but there may be bugs or missing features. Please open an issue if you find a bug, or miss an important feature. All contributions are welcome!

If you want to try out the latest features, there are nightly releases on NuGet!

A note for Visual Studio users

If you are experiencing build issues when using Visual Studio around Source Generators, please try enabling the option described here.

What components are there?

The most usable component is probably the syntax toolkit, called SynKit. There are many more components planned, see the next section for the roadmap.
