Interoperability

Interoperability in Starlasu enables integration with other tools, frameworks, and ecosystems in the language engineering space.

Cross-Platform Libraries​

Starlasu provides libraries for multiple platforms:

  • Kolasu: JVM-based implementation (Java, Kotlin)
  • Tylasu: Node.js and browser implementation (TypeScript/JavaScript)
  • Pylasu: Python implementation
  • Sharplasu: .NET implementation (C#, F#, VB.NET)

Standard Formats​

AST Exchange​
