Description

Esprima is a high performance, standard-compliant ECMAScript parser. It has full support for ECMAScript 2017 and returns a sensible syntax tree format as standardized by ESTree project.

Usage

esprima_tokenize(text, range = FALSE, loc = FALSE, comment = FALSE)

esprima_parse(text, jsx = FALSE, range = FALSE, loc = FALSE,
  tolerant = FALSE, tokens = FALSE, comment = FALSE)

Arguments

text	a character vector with JavaScript code
range	Annotate each token with its zero-based start and end location
loc	Annotate each token with its column and row-based location
comment	Include every line and block comment in the output
jsx	Support JSX syntax
tolerant	Tolerate a few cases of syntax errors
