Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Steep learning curve for non-JavaScript developers

   @lezer/cpp is built on top of Lezer, which has a unique API and requires familiarity with JavaScript patterns.

2. 02

   Limited documentation and community support

   The project relies heavily on the broader Lezer ecosystem for documentation, which can be sparse in specific areas relevant to C++ parsing.

3. 03

   Frequent breaking changes between versions

   Version updates often introduce API changes that require significant refactoring of existing codebases using @lezer/cpp.

4. 04

   Performance issues with large C++ codebases

   Parsing and manipulating large or complex C++ files can lead to performance bottlenecks, especially in real-time applications.
