validator for the Shift AST format
npm install shift-validatorShift Validator
===============
We call an AST valid if it represents an ECMAScript program. The
Shift AST format was designed
to permit the fewest possible conforming ASTs that are not valid. For various
reasons, it is impossible to exclude all invalid ASTs. This module
distinguishes valid Shift format ASTs from invalid ones.
Most of the ways in which a well-typed AST can fail to be valid are clear from the grammar or spec. One special case is worth calling attention to: an IfStatement with an alternate nested inside the consequent of an IfStatement that lacks an alternate is not valid. No possible source text can produce this AST.
``sh`
npm install shift-validator
`js`
import isValid, {Validator} from "shift-validator";
isValid(myAst); // Boolean
Validator.validate(myAst); // [ValidationError]
