name: parse description: Parse SQL and inspect the AST using syntaqlite. Use when the user wants to see the parse tree, debug SQL syntax, or understand how a query is structured.

Parse SQL

Parse SQLite SQL and display the abstract syntax tree (AST) using the syntaqlite CLI.

Usage

# Print AST from a file
syntaqlite parse query.sql

# Print AST from stdin
echo "SELECT 1 + 2 FROM t" | syntaqlite parse

# Parse an inline expression
syntaqlite parse -e "SELECT 1"

# Output as JSON
syntaqlite parse -o json query.sql

Options

• -e, --expression <SQL> — parse an inline SQL expression instead of files
• -o, --output <FORMAT> — output format (default: text)

Output modes

• text — Human-readable indented AST tree (default)
• json — Machine-readable JSON AST

Notes

• Use the default text output for quick inspection and json for programmatic use.
