DESCRIPTION

acorn is a utility to parse a JavaScript file from the command line. It accepts as arguments the input file. The utility spits out the syntax tree as JSON data.

OPTIONS

−−ecma3, −−ecma5, −−ecma6, −−ecma7, ..., −−ecma2015, −−ecma2016

Sets the ECMAScript version to parse. Default is version 7.

−−tokenize

Tokenizer mode of the parser.

−−locations

Attaches a "loc" object to each node with "start" and "end" subobjects, each of which contains the one-based line and zero-based column numbers in {line, column} form.

−−allow−hash−bang

If enabled, skip the leading hashbang line.

−−compact

No whitespace is used in the AST output.

−−silent

Do not output the AST, just return the exit status.

−−module

Indicates the code shouldn’t be parsed as a script but as a module. This influences global strict mode and ’import’ and ’export’ declarations.
