Solidity Language Grammar v0.8.28
Solidity is a statically typed, contract-oriented, high-level language for implementing smart contracts on the Ethereum platform.
Parser Grammar
source-unit
On top level, Solidity allows pragmas, import directives, and definitions of contracts, interfaces, libraries, structs, enums and constants.
import-directive
Import directives import identifiers from different files.
path
Path of a file to be imported.
symbol-aliases
List of aliases for symbols to be imported.
contract-definition
Top-level definition of a contract.
interface-definition
Top-level definition of an interface.
library-definition
Top-level definition of a library.
inheritance-specifier
Inheritance specifier for contracts and interfaces. Can optionally supply base constructor arguments.
contract-body-element
Declarations that can be used in contracts, interfaces and libraries.
Note that interfaces and libraries may not contain constructors, interfaces may not contain state variables and libraries may not contain fallback, receive functions nor non-constant state variables.
call-argument-list
Arguments when calling a function or a similar callable object. The arguments are either given as comma separated list or as map of named arguments.
identifier-path
Qualified name.
modifier-invocation
Call to a modifier. If the modifier takes no arguments, the argument list can be skipped entirely (including opening and closing parentheses).
visibility
Visibility for functions and function types.
parameter-list
A list of parameters, such as function arguments or return values.
constructor-definition
Definition of a constructor. Must always supply an implementation. Note that specifying internal or public visibility is deprecated.
state-mutability
State mutability for function types. The default mutability ‘non-payable’ is assumed if no mutability is specified.
override-specifier
An override specifier used for functions, modifiers or state variables. In cases where there are ambiguous declarations in several base contracts being overridden, a complete list of base contracts has to be given.
function-definition
The definition of contract, library, interface or free functions. Depending on the context in which the function is defined, further restrictions may apply, e.g. functions in interfaces have to be unimplemented, i.e. may not contain a body block.
modifier-definition
The definition of a modifier. Note that within the body block of a modifier, the underscore cannot be used as identifier, but is used as placeholder statement for the body of a function to which the modifier is applied.
fallback-function-definition
Definition of the special fallback function.
receive-function-definition
Definition of the special receive function.
struct-definition
Definition of a struct. Can occur at top-level within a source unit or within a contract, library or interface.
struct-member
The declaration of a named struct member.
enum-definition
Definition of an enum. Can occur at top-level within a source unit or within a contract, library or interface.
user-defined-value-type-definition
Definition of a user defined value type. Can occur at top-level within a source unit or within a contract, library or interface.
state-variable-declaration
The declaration of a state variable.
constant-variable-declaration
The declaration of a constant variable.
event-parameter
Parameter of an event.
event-definition
Definition of an event. Can occur in contracts, libraries or interfaces.

Parameter of an error.
error-definition
Definition of an error.
user-definable-operator
Operators that users are allowed to implement for some types with using for.
using-directive
Using directive to attach library functions and free functions to types. Can occur within contracts and libraries and at the file level.

Can be an index access, an index range access, a member access, a function call (with optional function call options), a type conversion, an unary or binary expression, a comparison or assignment, a ternary expression, a new-expression (i.e. a contract creation or the allocation of a dynamic memory array), a tuple, an inline array or a primary expression (i.e. an identifier, literal or type name).
tuple-expression
inline-array-expression
An inline array expression denotes a statically sized array of the common type of the contained expressions.
identifier
Besides regular non-keyword Identifiers, some keywords like ‘from’ and ‘error’ can also be used as identifiers.

return-statement
emit-statement
An emit statement. The contained expression needs to refer to an event.
revert-statement
A revert statement. The contained expression needs to refer to an error.
assembly-statement
An inline assembly block. The contents of an inline assembly block use a separate scanner/lexer, i.e. the set of keywords and allowed identifiers is different inside an inline assembly block.

yul-switch-statement
A Yul switch statement can consist of only a default-case (deprecated) or one or more non-default cases optionally followed by a default-case.

yul-evm-builtin
Builtin functions in the EVM Yul dialect.
yul-identifier
Yul identifiers consist of letters, dollar signs, underscores and numbers, but may not start with a number. In inline assembly there cannot be dots in user-defined identifiers. Instead see yulPath for expressions consisting of identifiers with dots.

yul-decimal-number
Decimal literals in Yul may be zero or any sequence of decimal digits without leading zeroes.

Sway Language Grammar v0.66.5
Sway is a domain-specific programming language for implementing smart contracts on blockchain platforms, most notably for the Fuel Virtual Machine (Fuel VM).
Parser Grammar
module
On top level, Sway allows module kind and definitions of submodule, storage, contracts, traits, libraries, structs, enums and constants. (AST: Module)
submodule
The mod keyword registers a submodule, making its items (such as functions and structs) accessible from the parent library. If used at the top level it will refer to a file in the src folder and in other cases in a folder named after the library in which it is defined. (AST: Submodule)
use
Provides several utility types and methods we can use in our contract. (AST: ItemUse)
use-tree
Path of a types or methods to be imported. (AST: UseTree)
struct
Definition of a struct. Can occur at top-level within a source unit or within a contract, library or interface. (AST: ItemStruct)
type-field
Definition of TypeField. (AST: TypeField)
type-name
Definition of TypeName. (AST: Ty)
enum
Definition of an enum. Can occur at top-level within a source unit or within a contract, library or interface. (AST: ItemEnum)
traits
Definition of traits. Can be used for abi and trait.(AST: Traits)
trait-item
Define an item of an trait. (AST: ItemTraitItem).
abi
ABI stands for Application Binary Interface.(AST: ItemAbi, doc: The ABI Declaration).
const
Define constant items. (AST: ItemConst)
configurable
Configurable constants are special constants that behave like regular constants in the sense that they cannot change during program execution, but they can be configured after the Sway program has been built. (AST: ItemConfigurable, doc: Configurable Constants)
type-alias
Definition of type-alias. To declare a type alias to give an existing type another name. (AST: ItemTypeAlias)
fn
Functions in Sway are declared with the fn keyword. (AST: ItemFn, doc: Functions)
fn-signature
fn-signature declares signature for function. (AST: FnSignature, doc: Functions)
generic-params
Generic types are a way to refer to types in general, meaning without specifying a single type. (AST: GenericParams, doc: Generic Types).
where-clause
Where clause can be used to specify the required traits for the generic argument. (AST: WhereClause, doc: Trait Constraints).
code-block-contents
A CodeBlockContents represents the body of a code block, which contains a sequence of statements and expressions. (AST: CodeBlockContents, doc: Functions).
fn-arg
A fn-arg represents function arguments. (AST: FnArg, doc: Functions).
pattern
A pattern is a construct used to match and destructure data. (AST: Pattern, doc: match expressions).
trait
A trait opts a type into a certain type of behavior or functionality that can be shared among types. This allows for easy reuse of code and generic programming. (AST: ItemTrait, doc: Declaring a Trait).
impl
Implement inherent or trait functionality. (AST: ItemImpl, doc: Implementing a Trait)
storage
In smart contract development, persistent storage (storage) is used to store values that persist after the contract exits, unlike regular memory values that disappear. (AST: ItemStorage, doc: Declaring storage)
storage-entry
Define storage entry. (AST: StorageEntry, doc: Declaring storage)
expr
Define types of expressions. (AST: Expr, doc: If Expressions)
