...The primary target is macro authors: you can parse TokenStreams into syn::File, syn::Item, syn::Expr, syn::Type, etc. It offers rich data structures, fine-grained parsing, span tracking (for error reporting), traversal and mutation APIs (visit, fold, visit_mut), printing back to tokens, and strong feature-gating so you only compile what you need. The documentation emphasises that while the crate is geared for procedural macros (and custom derives), some of the APIs may be of more general use. Using syn you can effectively write code that analyzes or generates Rust code at compile time.

...It has unique features like automatic derivation of depth grammar, production of the derivation tree including it's C interface which provides access to the abstract syntax tree, preservation of full source information and pretty printing to facilitate source-source translation, persistence to aid rapid interpreter writing. For application in contemporary computing environments, it supports unicode, reentrancy and offers thread-safeness.
