Shift Parser
============

About

This module provides an ECMAScript
parser that produces a Shift format AST.

Status

Stable.

The parser supports version 6 (release candidate 2) of the ECMA-262 standard.

Installation

``sh
npm install shift-parser
`

Usage

`es6
import parse from "shift-parser";
let ast = parse("/ ECMAScript program text /");
`

`es6
import {parseScript, parseModule} from "shift-parser";
let scriptAST = parseScript("/ ECMAScript Script text /");
let moduleAST = parseModule("/ ECMAScript Module text /");
`

Or in node.js:

`js
var parseScript = require("shift-parser").parseScript;
var scriptAST = parseScript("/ ECMAScript Script text /");
`


Location information is available in environments which support WeakMap via an alternative interface:

`js
let {parseScriptWithLocation, parseModuleWithLocation} = require("shift-parser");
let {tree, locations, comments} = parseScriptWithLocation("2 + 3 / = 5 /");
let threeNode = tree.statements[0].expression.right;
locations.get(threeNode); // { start: { line: 1, column: 4, offset: 4 }, end: { line: 1, column: 5, offset: 5 } }
comments; // [ { text: ' = 5 ', type: 'MultiLine', start: { line: 1, column: 6, offset: 6 }, end: { line: 1, column: 15, offset: 15 } } ]
`
