Semantic is a Haskell library and command line tool for parsing, analysing, and comparing source code.
Usage
Run semantic --help
for complete list of up-to-date options.
Usage: semantic parse ([–sexpression] | [–json] | [–json-graph] | [–symbols]
| [–dot] | [–show] | [–quiet]) [FILES…]
Generate parse trees for path(s)
Available options:
–sexpression Output s-expression parse trees (default)
–json Output JSON parse trees
–json-graph Output JSON adjacency list
–symbols Output JSON symbol list
–dot Output DOT graph parse trees
–show Output using the Show instance (debug only, format
subject to change without notice)
–quiet Don’t produce output, but show timing stats

Diff
Usage: semantic diff ([–sexpression] | [–json] | [–json-graph] | [–toc] |
[–dot] | [–show]) [FILE_A] [FILE_B]
Compute changes between paths
Available options:
–sexpression Output s-expression diff tree (default)
–json Output JSON diff trees
–json-graph Output JSON diff trees
–toc Output JSON table of contents diff summary
–dot Output the diff as a DOT graph
–show Output using the Show instance (debug only, format subject to change without notice)
Graph
Usage: semantic graph ([–imports] | [–calls]) [–packages] ([–dot] | [–json]
| [–show]) ([–root DIR] [–exclude-dir DIR]
DIR:LANGUAGE | FILE | –language ARG (FILES… | –stdin))
Compute a graph for a directory or from a top-level entry point module
Available options:
–imports Compute an import graph (default)
–calls Compute a call graph
–packages Include a vertex for the package, with edges from it
to each module
–dot Output in DOT graph format (default)
–json Output JSON graph
–show Output using the Show instance (debug only, format
subject to change without notice)
–root DIR Root directory of project. Optional, defaults to
entry file/directory.
–exclude-dir DIR Exclude a directory (e.g. vendor)
–language ARG The language for the analysis.
–stdin Read a list of newline-separated paths to analyze
from stdin.
Language support
Development
We use cabal’s Nix-style local builds for development. To get started quickly:
git clone git@github.com:github/semantic.git
cd semantic
git submodule sync –recursive && git submodule update –init –recursive –force
cabal new-update
cabal new-build
cabal new-test
cabal new-run semantic — –help
It requires at least GHC 8.6.4 and Cabal 2.4. We recommend using ghcup to sandbox GHC versions. stack as a build tool is not officially supported; there is an unofficial stack.yaml available, though we cannot make guarantees as to its stability.
