Note that, in addition to the Go lang speed, I added performance improvement for Go implementation.

Rich interface compared to other implementation

go-vimlparser is written in Go which is typed language and I added Go-ish interface, so you can see each node fields. e.g. https://godoc.org/github.com/haya14busa/go-vimlparser/ast#Function

package	doc
go-vimlparser
go-vimlparser/ast
go-vimlparser/token

CLI tool

Installation

go get github.com/haya14busa/go-vimlparser/cmd/vimlparser

Usage

$ echo 'let x = 1' | vimlparser
(let = x 1)
$ vimlparser autoload/vimlparser.vim | head -n 5

As a Lint Tool

You can use it to detect syntax error. It doesn't check much things compared to existing lint tool for Vim script, but it runs fast even if you pass lots of files to it.
