Features

Installation

pip install esprima

API

Esprima can be used to perform lexical analysis (tokenization) or syntactic analysis (parsing) of a JavaScript program.

A simple example:

>>> import esprima
>>> program = 'const answer = 42'

>>> esprima.tokenize(program)
[{
    type: "Keyword",
    value: "const"
}, {
    type: "Identifier",
    value: "answer"
}, {
    type: "Punctuator",
    value: "="
}, {
    type: "Numeric",
    value: "42"
}]

>>> esprima.parseScript(program)
{
    body: [
        {
            kind: "const",
            declarations: [
                {
                    init: {
                        raw: "42",
                        type: "Literal",
                        value: 42
                    },
                    type: "VariableDeclarator",
                    id: {
                        type: "Identifier",
                        name: "answer"
                    }
                }
            ],
            type: "VariableDeclaration"
        }
    ],
    type: "Program",
    sourceType: "script"
}
