highlight.js grammar for Zig

Syntax highlighting for Zig 0.16 using the standard highlight.js scopes. The grammar recognizes Zig keywords, primitive types, arbitrary-width integer types, builtins, literals, comments, quoted identifiers, strings, multiline string lines, numbers, and operators.

This package is a maintained fork of highlightjs-zig. It keeps the original MIT license and adds executable compatibility and grammar tests.

Install

npm install highlight.js @zag2art/highlightjs-zig

Register the grammar before highlighting Zig blocks:

const hljs = require("highlight.js/lib/core");
const zig = require("@zag2art/highlightjs-zig");

hljs.registerLanguage("zig", zig);

Then use the normal highlight.js language class:

<pre><code class="language-zig">const std = @import("std");</code></pre>

The CommonJS export also exposes default and zigLanguageSupport aliases for interop with existing consumers of the upstream package.

Compatibility

• highlight.js: >=11.10.0 <12
• Zig syntax baseline: 0.16.0
• License: MIT

This package provides highlighting only. It does not compile, format, or run Zig code and does not require custom CSS beyond a normal highlight.js theme.
