## README

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


## About

This module provides an [ECMAScript](http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-262.htm)
parser that produces a [Shift format](https://github.com/shapesecurity/shift-spec) AST.


## Status

[Stable](http://nodejs.org/api/documentation.html#documentation_stability_index).

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 } } ]
```
