This package contains TypeScript definitions for the ESTree (ECMAScript Tree) AST specification. ESTree defines a standard abstract syntax tree format for JavaScript and other languages. These type definitions enable static analysis tools, linters, and code transformers to work with ESTree ASTs in a type-safe manner within TypeScript projects. By using @types/estree, developers can ensure their code accurately represents and manipulates AST structures, improving code quality and preventing runtime errors related to AST handling.
