描述

## Language

**AL** (Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central) — https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/devenv-programming-in-al

AL is the programming language used to build extensions for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Microsoft's flagship ERP platform. It has a large partner/developer ecosystem with significant usage on GitHub — [`path:*.al language:AL`](https://github.com/search?q=path%3A*.al+language%3AAL&type=code).

## Why now

AL has been recognized in Linguist since 2018 but has never had code navigation: no mature tree-sitter parser existed until now. `tree-sitter-al` (MIT, on crates.io) is the first, with 100% parse success on Microsoft's 15,358-file Base Application and 1,404 passing tests — filling a long-standing gap for the Business Central / AppSource developer community.

## Linguist entry

- [x] Linguist language name: AL
- [x] Linguist language ID: 658971832
- [x] Permalink: https://github.com/github-linguist/linguist/blob/537297cdae3ab05f8d5dd1c03627a5bd73707b19/lib/linguist/languages.yml#L109-L116

## Tree-sitter parser

Parser URL: https://github.com/SShadowS/tree-sitter-al

- [x] Parser is open source: MIT license
- [x] Repository includes tags queries (`queries/tags.scm`, 226 lines)
- [x] Tags queries include `@scope` for fully-qualified names (if applicable) — N/A: AL definitions are always lexically nested inside object declarations (procedures inside codeunits, fields inside tables, etc.), so FQNs are inferred from tree structure — same as Java/C#. No `@scope` captures needed.
- [x] Rust crate: https://crates.io/crates/tree-sitter-al

### Maturity

- 100% parse success rate on 15,358 production AL files (Microsoft's Base Application)
- 1,404 test cases passing
- Version 2.3.0, actively maintained

### Tags query coverage

**Definitions:**
- Objects: `table`, `page`, `codeunit`, `report`, `query`, `xmlport`, `enum`, `interface`, `controladdin` + all extension types → `@definition.class` / `@definition.interface`
- Procedures & triggers → `@definition.method`
- Parameters → `@definition.parameter`
- Fields, keys, columns → `@definition.field`
- Variables → `@definition.variable`
- Enum values, labels → `@definition.constant`
- Actions, triggers, views → `@definition.function`
- Namespaces → `@definition.module`

**References:**
- Method/function calls → `@reference.call`
- Table/enum type references → `@reference.class` / `@reference.type`
- Interface implementations → `@reference.implementation`
- Property value references → `@reference.constant`

调研方向

首先检查链接的 tree-sitter-al 仓库,尤其是 queries/tags.scm 及其记录的 parser 和 tag 覆盖范围。将列出的 AL 定义和引用与 code-navigation 集成要求进行比较,然后验证 AL 导航是否支持这些类别以及所述的 parser 和 query 覆盖范围。
