Estraverse is a simple and flexible library for traversing and manipulating JavaScript ASTs. It is similar to @babel/traverse but is not tied to the Babel ecosystem and can be used with other ASTs conforming to the ESTree spec.
Acorn-walk is a small module for walking the AST generated by the Acorn parser. It provides a simple interface for visiting nodes but does not offer the same level of manipulation capabilities as @babel/traverse.
Recast provides AST traversal and manipulation capabilities, with a focus on preserving the original formatting of the code as much as possible. It uses esprima or babel as the parser and is more focused on code printing than @babel/traverse.
