| Source Maps |
| =========== |
| |
| This project implements a Dart pub package to work with source maps. The |
| implementation is based on the [source map version 3 spec][spec] which was |
| originated from the [Closure Compiler][closure] and has been implemented in |
| Chrome and Firefox. |
| |
| In this package we provide: |
| |
| * Data types defining file locations and spans: these are not part of the |
| original source map specification. These data types are great for tracking |
| source locations on source maps, but they can also be used by tools to |
| reporting useful error messages that include on source locations. |
| * A builder that creates a source map programatically and produces the encoded |
| source map format. |
| * A parser that reads the source map format and provides APIs to read the |
| mapping information. |
| |
| Some upcoming features we are planning to add to this package are: |
| |
| * A printer that lets you generate code, but record source map information in |
| the process. |
| * A tool that can compose source maps together. This would be useful for |
| instance, if you have 2 tools that produce source maps and you call one with |
| the result of the other. |
