								## Credits
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Heavily based on [acorn](https://github.com/marijnh/acorn) and [acorn-jsx](https://github.com/RReverser/acorn-jsx),
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								thanks to the awesome work of [@RReverser](https://github.com/RReverser) and [@marijnh](https://github.com/marijnh).
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Significant diversions are expected to occur in the future such as streaming, EBNF definitions, sweet.js integration, interspatial parsing and more.

								## API
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								### `babylon.parse(code, [options])`
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								### `babylon.parseExpression(code, [options])`
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								`parse()` parses the provided `code` as an entire ECMAScript program, while
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								`parseExpression()` tries to parse a single Expression with performance in
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								mind. When in doubt, use `.parse()`.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								### Options
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								- **allowImportExportEverywhere**: By default, `import` and `export`
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  declarations can only appear at a program's top level. Setting this
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  option to `true` allows them anywhere where a statement is allowed.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								- **allowReturnOutsideFunction**: By default, a return statement at
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  the top level raises an error. Set this to `true` to accept such
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  code.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								- **allowSuperOutsideMethod**: TODO
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								- **sourceType**: Indicate the mode the code should be parsed in. Can be
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  either `"script"` or `"module"`.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								- **sourceFilename**: Correlate output AST nodes with their source filename.  Useful when generating code and source maps from the ASTs of multiple input files.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								- **startLine**: By default, the first line of code parsed is treated as line 1. You can provide a line number to alternatively start with. Useful for integration with other source tools.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								- **plugins**: Array containing the plugins that you want to enable.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								- **strictMode**: TODO
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								### Output
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Babylon generates AST according to [Babel AST format][].
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								It is based on [ESTree spec][] with the following deviations:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								> There is now an `estree` plugin which reverts these deviations
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								- [Literal][] token is replaced with [StringLiteral][], [NumericLiteral][], [BooleanLiteral][], [NullLiteral][], [RegExpLiteral][]
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								- [Property][] token is replaced with [ObjectProperty][] and [ObjectMethod][]
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								- [MethodDefinition][] is replaced with [ClassMethod][]
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								- [Program][] and [BlockStatement][] contain additional `directives` field with [Directive][] and [DirectiveLiteral][]
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								- [ClassMethod][], [ObjectProperty][], and [ObjectMethod][] value property's properties in [FunctionExpression][] is coerced/brought into the main method node.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								AST for JSX code is based on [Facebook JSX AST][] with the addition of one node type:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								- `JSXText`

								### Semver
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Babylon follows semver in most situations. The only thing to note is that some spec-compliancy bug fixes may be released under patch versions.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								For example: We push a fix to early error on something like [#107](https://github.com/babel/babylon/pull/107) - multiple default exports per file. That would be considered a bug fix even though it would cause a build to fail.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								### Example
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```javascript
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								require("babylon").parse("code", {
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  // parse in strict mode and allow module declarations
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  sourceType: "module",
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  plugins: [
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    // enable jsx and flow syntax
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    "jsx",
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								    "flow"
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  ]
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								});
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
|
