NIST Misses 2024 Deadline to Clear NVD Backlog
NIST has failed to meet its self-imposed deadline of clearing the NVD's backlog by the end of the fiscal year. Meanwhile, CVE's awaiting analysis have increased by 33% since June.
The esrecurse npm package is designed for recursively walking through ECMAScript/JavaScript syntax trees. It is commonly used for static analysis, code transformation, and other tasks that involve traversing and manipulating the structure of JavaScript code.
Visiting nodes in an AST
This feature allows you to visit each node in an abstract syntax tree (AST) and perform actions based on the node type. In the code sample, `Literal` nodes are logged to the console.
const esrecurse = require('esrecurse');
esrecurse.visit(ast, {
Literal(node) {
console.log(node.value);
}
});
Custom visitor keys
This feature allows you to define custom visitor keys for node types that are not part of the standard ECMAScript syntax. In the code sample, a `CustomNode` type is visited, and its `customProperty` is logged.
const esrecurse = require('esrecurse');
const visitorKeys = {
CustomNode: ['customProperty']
};
esrecurse.visit(ast, {
CustomNode(node) {
console.log(node.customProperty);
}
}, visitorKeys);
Estraverse is a similar package that provides a simple interface for traversing and optionally replacing nodes in an AST. It is similar to esrecurse but has a more extensive API and additional features like the ability to replace nodes.
Acorn-walk is a part of the Acorn JS parser ecosystem and provides functionality for walking the AST generated by Acorn. It is similar to esrecurse but is tailored specifically for ASTs generated by Acorn and may not be as generic.
Esrecurse (esrecurse) is ECMAScript recursive traversing functionality.
The following code will output all variables declared at the root of a file.
esrecurse.visit(ast, {
XXXStatement: function (node) {
this.visit(node.left);
// do something...
this.visit(node.right);
}
});
We can use Visitor
instance.
var visitor = new esrecurse.Visitor({
XXXStatement: function (node) {
this.visit(node.left);
// do something...
this.visit(node.right);
}
});
visitor.visit(ast);
We can inherit Visitor
instance easily.
function DerivedVisitor() {
esrecurse.Visitor.call(/* this for constructor */ this, /* visitor object. */ this);
}
util.inherits(DerivedVisitor, esrecurse.Visitor);
DerivedVisitor.prototype.XXXStatement = function (node) {
this.visit(node.left);
// do something...
this.visit(node.right);
};
And you can invoke default visiting operation inside custom visit operation.
function DerivedVisitor() {
esrecurse.Visitor.call(/* this for constructor */ this, /* visitor object. */ this);
}
util.inherits(DerivedVisitor, esrecurse.Visitor);
DerivedVisitor.prototype.XXXStatement = function (node) {
// do something...
this.visitChildren(node);
};
