Modernized, composer compatible version of Tim Whitlock's JTokenizer PHP Javascript parser and tokenizer library.

NOTE: This package is a good choice for very basic access to JavaScript tokens. A more modern and complete solution is Peast.

Overview

The JavaScript tokenizer is designed to mimic the PHP tokenizer. Possible uses for the tokenizer include code highlighting and simple manipulation of JavaScript source code.

Quickstart

Tokenize a JavaScript file:

$tokens = \JTokenizer\JTokenizer::getFileTokens('javascript.js');

Tokenize a JavaScript string:

$jsCode = '(JavaScript source code)';
$tokens = \JTokenizer\JTokenizer::getTokens($jsCode);

Both methods behave like the PHP token_get_all function, with the addition of a column number as well as a line number.

Token information

The getTokens() method returns an indexed array with a list of token arrays. Each token array is an indexed array with the following information:

1. Token identifier
2. Matched literal
3. Line number
4. Column number

The token identifier can be either an Integer, or a string. To get the according token type name, use the getTokenName() method.

Source

Derived from Tim Whitlock's JTokenizer package, released back in 2009. As far as my research online showed, no one else published a modernized version of it that can run without deprecated messages on PHP7.4+.
