babel-generator is a core Babel package that takes an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) as input and transforms it back into JavaScript code. It's responsible for the process of code generation, ensuring that the generated code is syntactically correct and adheres to specified formatting options. Used internally by Babel, babel-generator provides options for controlling whitespace, indentation, and source map generation, making it a crucial component in the compilation pipeline. You can use it directly for programmatic code generation tasks.
The npm package babel-generator experienced frequent releases from October 2015 to March 2017, with peaks in November 2015 and December 2015. Release frequency then sharply declined, with only sporadic releases between June 2017 and February 2018. Since then, there have been no releases, with no releases between March 2018 and August 2025.
Babel-generator npm package downloads show volatility. After relatively stable numbers in early 2025, downloads spiked in June and July, exceeding 14 million and 16 million respectively. August saw a drop, and September (partial data) indicates a significant decrease, suggesting a potential shift in usage trends.
