$ npm install meriyah
100% compliant, self-hosted javascript parser with high focus on both performance and stability
Note: These features need to be enabled with the next
option.
Meriyah generates AST
according to ESTree AST format, and can be used to perform syntactic analysis (parsing) of a JavaScript program, and with ES2015
and later a JavaScript program can be either a script or a module.
The parse
method exposed by meriyah takes an optional options
object which allows you to specify whether to parse in script
mode (the default) or in module
mode.
This is the available options:
{
// The flag to allow module code
module: false;
// The flag to enable stage 3 support (ESNext)
next: false;
// The flag to enable start and end offsets to each node
ranges: false;
// Enable web compability
webcompat: false;
// The flag to enable line/column location information to each node
loc: false;
// The flag to attach raw property to each literal and identifier node
raw: false;
// Enabled directives
directives: false;
// The flag to allow return in the global scope
globalReturn: false;
// The flag to enable implied strict mode
impliedStrict: false;
// Enable non-standard parenthesized expression node
preserveParens: false;
// Enable lexical binding and scope tracking
lexical: false;
// Adds a source attribute in every node’s loc object when the locations option is `true`
source: false;
// Distinguish Identifier from IdentifierPattern
identifierPattern: false;
// Enable React JSX parsing
jsx: false
}
Example usage:
import { parseScript } from './meriyah';
parseScript('({x: [y] = 0} = 1)');
This will return when serialized in json:
{
type: "Program",
sourceType: "script",
body: [
{
type: "ExpressionStatement",
expression: {
type: "AssignmentExpression",
left: {
type: "ObjectPattern",
properties: [
{
type: "Property",
key: {
type: "Identifier",
name: "x"
},
value: {
type: "AssignmentPattern",
left: {
type: "ArrayPattern",
elements: [
{
"type": "Identifier",
"name": "y"
}
]
},
right: {
type: "Literal",
value: 0
}
},
kind: "init",
computed: false,
method: false,
shorthand: false
}
]
},
operator: "=",
right: {
type: "Literal",
value: 1
}
}
}
]
}
Meriyah is 100% ECMA spec compatible, but you have to enable several options to make sure your code parses with 100% ECMA spec compability. This is done because Meriyah's main focus is on performance, and each option you enable will have impact on it's performance.
Also note that support for additional ECMAScript features for Web Browsers (annexB) isn't enabled by default as in other parsers, but you can instead parse with and without web compability .
This is done because AnnexB is an extension of the language, and also beaucse all the Test262 suite
tests has no web compability.
Lexical binding and scope tracking has to be enabled with the lexical
option.
