SwiftSyntaxSerializer is a command line tool that lets you parse Swift code into a JSON-LD serialization format and vice versa.
This tool is part of the Whole Platform; the installation of this tool is necessary in order to enable the native Swift persistence of the Swift and SwiftSyntax languages.
SwiftSyntaxSerializer depends on SwiftSyntax for parsing and unparsing the Swift code and on SwiftFormat for formatting the Whole generated code.
The version of the standalone parsing library that is distributed as part of the Swift toolchain must match the one expected by SwiftSyntax. So you should check out and build SwiftSyntaxSerializer from the branch that is compatible with the version of Swift you are using. As an alternative you can install and switch to a compatible Swift toolchain.
The last supported version of Swift is: 5.1. Check from the command line the version of Swift you are using.
