# Summary
[summary]: #summary
One para explanation of the feature.
The long-term plan is to rewrite libsyntax parser and syntax tree data
structure to create a software component independent of the rest of
rustc compiler and suitable for the needs of IDEs and code
editors. This RFCs is the first step of this plan, whose goal is to
find out if this is possible at least in theory. If it is possible,
the next steps would be a prototype implementation as a crates.io
crate and a separate RFC for integrating the prototype with rustc,
other tools, and eventual libsyntax removal.
Note that this RFC does not propose to stabilize any API for working
with rust syntax: the semver version of the hypothetical library would
be `0.1.0`.
