Acorn is a small, fast, JavaScript-based JavaScript parser. It produces an abstract syntax tree similar to the one produced by @babel/types but does not include the same utilities for building or validating nodes.
Esprima is another JavaScript parser that produces an AST. It is used for static analysis and other code transformation tasks, similar to @babel/types, but it has its own API and does not provide the same helper functions for node creation and validation.
Recast is a JavaScript AST manipulation library that uses Esprima under the hood. It provides a different set of utilities for parsing, transforming, and printing code, and it preserves source formatting, which is different from @babel/types.
