ruby_parser translation

Prism ships with the ability to translate its syntax tree into the syntax tree used by the seattlerb/ruby_parser gem. This allows you to use tools built on top of the ruby_parser gem with the prism parser.

Usage

You can call the parse and parse_file methods on the Prism::Translation::RubyParser module:

filepath = "path/to/file.rb"
Prism::Translation::RubyParser.parse_file(filepath)

This will return to you Sexp objects that mirror the result of calling RubyParser methods, as in:

filepath = "path/to/file.rb"
RubyParser.new.parse(File.read(filepath), filepath)
