Languages and Parsers

URL Encode Algorithm

The input code and options are stored in the URL as a hash fragment, which is the string following the # symbol and is not transmitted to the server.

Implementation

const code = 'code'
const parserId = 'acorn'
const optionsString = JSON.stringify({
  ecmaVersion: 'latest',
  sourceType: 'module',
})
const serialized = utoa(
  // utoa, or compress() if want to compress the data
  JSON.stringify({
    c: code,
    p: parserId,
    o: optionsString,
  }),
)
const url = `https://ast.sxzz.dev/#${serialized}`

// no compress
function utoa(data: string): string {
  return btoa(unescape(encodeURIComponent(data)))
}

// compress is optional
import { strFromU8, strToU8, unzlibSync, zlibSync } from 'fflate'
function compress(data: string) {
  const buffer = strToU8(data)
  const zipped = zlibSync(buffer, { level: 9 })
  const binary = strFromU8(zipped, true)
  return btoa(binary)
}
