Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the existing ESTree node definitions and JavaScript code generator in this Elixir repository to understand the expected AST shape. Done would require a concrete parser scope and an implementation that generates ASTs from JavaScript source.

Description

I wouldn't know where to start but I'd be more than happy to help in implementing a JavaScript parser to generate AST's from source code.
