Where can I find a library that parses source code and is able to extract the scope of where your cursor is currently in the code?

sublimetext

In SublimeText(2), when you press [ctrl + shift + p] (mac osx) you are shown a scope of where your caret/cursor is in the source code at the given moment e.g.: entity.name.tag.inline.any.html meta.tag.inline.any.html text.html.basic

I am curious about what library or script is used to parse the document/file and create that scope string.

A sidenote: Typing view.syntax_name(view.sel()[0].b) into Sublime's console will output the scope as well.
