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.

--help

Print the usage information and quit.
