This library looks awesome! It appears that this library is mostly used internally for https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate and likely everybody using this knows exactly what they are doing - but it appears that this library could be very useful for what I am attempting to do.

I've jumped into this source code and some of renovates source code and parsing looks pretty straight forward but was wondering if there was any good examples of transforming and serializing the parsed AST back into it's original from to write back to the file? I see writeLocalFile but didn't see where it was being utilized.

Hey, thank you. Sorry for such a delayed response, but we don't serialize it back, we use other mechanism to change source code of interest.

I'm not going to significantly improve/change it, instead I'm working on the new query language/engine for tree-sitter AST, which hopefully would be way more powerful than this library. It'll be written in Rust.

Awesome sounds good, looking forward to the updates!
