Provide abstract syntax tree for linting and code formatting #1889

Open nichtich opened 5 years ago

nichtich commented 5 years ago

I'd like to have an option to compile a jq script and - given there are no syntax errors - get its abstract syntax tree in some JSON format for static code analysis and code formatting. Especially the latter would be nice as jq script get unreadable very quickly.

I have something like this in a branch that dumps a JSON representation of the internal block representation of programs. We could revive this.

I’d make my best to find time and contribute to a feature like this.

My dump_block branch has something like this.
