  22. > var program = 'const answer = 42';
  23. > esprima.tokenize(program);
  24. [ { type: 'Keyword', value: 'const' },
  25. { type: 'Identifier', value: 'answer' },
  26. { type: 'Punctuator', value: '=' },
  27. { type: 'Numeric', value: '42' } ]
  28. > esprima.parseScript(program);
  29. { type: 'Program',
  30. body:
  31. [ { type: 'VariableDeclaration',
  32. declarations: [Object],
  33. kind: 'const' } ],
  34. sourceType: 'script' }
