Parser

A high-performance JavaScript / TypeScript parser written in Rust, powering other tools in the Oxc project.

Features

• 3x faster than swc parser ([benchmark][url-benchmark]).
• Parses .js(x) and .ts(x).
• Passes all parser tests from Test262 and 99% from Babel and TypeScript.
• Returns ESM information directly, no need for es-module-lexer.
• ✅ works with checker.ts

Installation

Node.js

• Use the node binding [oxc-parser][url-oxc-parser-npm].
• Try on stackblitz.

Rust

Use the umbrella crate [oxc][url-oxc-crate] or the individual [oxc_ast][url-oxc-ast-crate] and [oxc_parser][url-oxc-parser-crate] crates.

Rust usage example can be found here.

Print

After parsing and transforming, you can print code.

Here's a direct example using esrap (parse in reverse!):

import { print } from "esrap";
import ts from "esrap/languages/ts";
import { parseSync } from "oxc-parser";

const { program } = parseSync("test.js", 'alert("hello oxc & esrap");');
const { code } = print(program, ts());

console.log(code); // alert("hello oxc & esrap");
