Arborium is a new open-source project that brings tree-sitter-based syntax highlighting to Rust documentation. It bundles 96 language grammars into Rust crates that compile to both native and WebAssembly targets.

The solution addresses long-standing limitations in docs.rs by providing accurate, comprehensive syntax highlighting without requiring full documentation rebuilds.
