-
- - The latest ECMAScript version enabled by default (ES2017).
- - Comment attachment.
- - Support for JSX and Flow.
- - Support for experimental language proposals (accepting PRs for anything at least [stage-0](https://github.com/tc39/proposals/blob/master/stage-0-proposals.md)).
-
- ## Credits
-
- Heavily based on [acorn](https://github.com/marijnh/acorn) and [acorn-jsx](https://github.com/RReverser/acorn-jsx),
- thanks to the awesome work of [@RReverser](https://github.com/RReverser) and [@marijnh](https://github.com/marijnh).
-
- Significant diversions are expected to occur in the future such as streaming, EBNF definitions, sweet.js integration, interspatial parsing and more.
-
- ## API
-
- ### `babylon.parse(code, [options])`
-
- ### `babylon.parseExpression(code, [options])`
-
- `parse()` parses the provided `code` as an entire ECMAScript program, while
- `parseExpression()` tries to parse a single Expression with performance in
- mind. When in doubt, use `.parse()`.
-
- ### Options
-
- - **allowImportExportEverywhere**: By default, `import` and `export`
- declarations can only appear at a program's top level. Setting this
- option to `true` allows them anywhere where a statement is allowed.
-
- - **allowReturnOutsideFunction**: By default, a return statement at
- the top level raises an error. Set this to `true` to accept such
- code.
-
- - **allowSuperOutsideMethod**: TODO
-
- - **sourceType**: Indicate the mode the code should be parsed in. Can be
- either `"script"` or `"module"`.
-
- - **sourceFilename**: Correlate output AST nodes with their source filename. Useful when generating code and source maps from the ASTs of multiple input files.
-
- - **startLine**: By default, the first line of code parsed is treated as line 1. You can provide a line number to alternatively start with. Useful for integration with other source tools.
-
- - **plugins**: Array containing the plugins that you want to enable.
-
- - **strictMode**: TODO
-
- ### Output
-
- Babylon generates AST according to [Babel AST format][].
- It is based on [ESTree spec][] with the following deviations:
-
- > There is now an `estree` plugin which reverts these deviations
-
- - [Literal][] token is replaced with [StringLiteral][], [NumericLiteral][], [BooleanLiteral][], [NullLiteral][], [RegExpLiteral][]
- - [Property][] token is replaced with [ObjectProperty][] and [ObjectMethod][]
- - [MethodDefinition][] is replaced with [ClassMethod][]
- - [Program][] and [BlockStatement][] contain additional `directives` field with [Directive][] and [DirectiveLiteral][]
- - [ClassMethod][], [ObjectProperty][], and [ObjectMethod][] value property's properties in [FunctionExpression][] is coerced/brought into the main method node.
-
- AST for JSX code is based on [Facebook JSX AST][] with the addition of one node type:
-
- - `JSXText`

-
- ### Semver
-
- Babylon follows semver in most situations. The only thing to note is that some spec-compliancy bug fixes may be released under patch versions.
-
- For example: We push a fix to early error on something like [#107](https://github.com/babel/babylon/pull/107) - multiple default exports per file. That would be considered a bug fix even though it would cause a build to fail.
-
- ### Example
-
- ```javascript
- require("babylon").parse("code", {
- // parse in strict mode and allow module declarations
- sourceType: "module",
-
- plugins: [
- // enable jsx and flow syntax
- "jsx",
- "flow"
- ]
- });
- ```
-
- ### Plugins
-
- - `estree`
- - `jsx`
- - `flow`
- - `doExpressions`
- - `objectRestSpread`
- - `decorators` (Based on an outdated version of the Decorators proposal. Will be removed in a future version of `Babylon`)
- - `classProperties`
- - `exportExtensions`
- - `asyncGenerators`
- - `functionBind`
- - `functionSent`
- - `dynamicImport`
- - `templateInvalidEscapes`
