 - 
 - A regular expression parser for ECMAScript.
 - 
 - ## 💿 Installation
 - 
 - ```bash
 - $ npm install @eslint-community/regexpp
 - ```
 - 
 - - require Node@^12.0.0 || ^14.0.0 || >=16.0.0.
 - 
 - ## 📖 Usage
 - 
 - ```ts
 - import {
 -     AST,
 -     RegExpParser,
 -     RegExpValidator,
 -     RegExpVisitor,
 -     parseRegExpLiteral,
 -     validateRegExpLiteral,
 -     visitRegExpAST
 - } from "@eslint-community/regexpp"
 - ```
 - 
 - ### parseRegExpLiteral(source, options?)
 - 
 - Parse a given regular expression literal then make AST object.
 - 
 - This is equivalent to `new RegExpParser(options).parseLiteral(source)`.
 - 
 - - **Parameters:**
 -     - `source` (`string | RegExp`) The source code to parse.
 -     - `options?` ([`RegExpParser.Options`]) The options to parse.
 - - **Return:**
 -     - The AST of the regular expression.
 - 
 - ### validateRegExpLiteral(source, options?)
 - 
 - Validate a given regular expression literal.
 - 
 - This is equivalent to `new RegExpValidator(options).validateLiteral(source)`.
 - 
 - - **Parameters:**
 -     - `source` (`string`) The source code to validate.
 -     - `options?` ([`RegExpValidator.Options`]) The options to validate.
 - 
 - ### visitRegExpAST(ast, handlers)
 - 
 - Visit each node of a given AST.
 - 
 - This is equivalent to `new RegExpVisitor(handlers).visit(ast)`.
 - 
 - - **Parameters:**
 -     - `ast` ([`AST.Node`]) The AST to visit.
 -     - `handlers` ([`RegExpVisitor.Handlers`]) The callbacks.
 - 
 - ### RegExpParser
 - 
 - #### new RegExpParser(options?)
 - 
 - - **Parameters:**
 -     - `options?` ([`RegExpParser.Options`]) The options to parse.
 - 
 - #### parser.parseLiteral(source, start?, end?)
 - 
 - Parse a regular expression literal.
 - 
 - - **Parameters:**
 -     - `source` (`string`) The source code to parse. E.g. `"/abc/g"`.
 -     - `start?` (`number`) The start index in the source code. Default is `0`.
 -     - `end?` (`number`) The end index in the source code. Default is `source.length`.
 - - **Return:**
 -     - The AST of the regular expression.
 - 
 - #### parser.parsePattern(source, start?, end?, flags?)
 - 
 - Parse a regular expression pattern.
 - 
 - - **Parameters:**
 -     - `source` (`string`) The source code to parse. E.g. `"abc"`.
 -     - `start?` (`number`) The start index in the source code. Default is `0`.
 -     - `end?` (`number`) The end index in the source code. Default is `source.length`.
 -     - `flags?` (`{ unicode?: boolean, unicodeSets?: boolean }`) The flags to enable Unicode mode, and Unicode Set mode.
 - - **Return:**
 -     - The AST of the regular expression pattern.
 - 
 - #### parser.parseFlags(source, start?, end?)
 - 
 - Parse a regular expression flags.
 - 
 - - **Parameters:**
 -     - `source` (`string`) The source code to parse. E.g. `"gim"`.
 -     - `start?` (`number`) The start index in the source code. Default is `0`.
