Module jdk.scripting.nashorn

Package jdk.nashorn.api.tree

Nashorn parser API provides interfaces to represent ECMAScript source code as abstract syntax trees (AST) and Parser to parse ECMAScript source scripts.

Using parser API user can write Java code to access parse tree representation of ECMAScript source. Script source may be a file, a URL or a String. Unless stated otherwise null argument in methods of this package result in NullPointerException being thrown.

     public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

         Parser parser = Parser.create();
         File sourceFile = new File(args[0]);

         // Parse given source File using parse method.
         // Pass a diagnostic listener to print error messages.
         CompilationUnitTree cut = parser.parse(sourceFile,
             (d) -> { System.out.println(d); });

         if (cut != null) {
