# AbstractSyntaxTree provides methods to parse Ruby code into
# abstract syntax trees. The nodes in the tree
# are instances of RubyVM::AbstractSyntaxTree::Node.
#
# This module is MRI specific as it exposes implementation details
# of the MRI abstract syntax tree.
#
# This module is experimental and its API is not stable, therefore it might
# change without notice. As examples, the order of children nodes is not
# guaranteed, the number of children nodes might change, there is no way to
# access children nodes by name, etc.
#
# If you are looking for a stable API or an API working under multiple Ruby
# implementations, consider using the _parser_ gem or Ripper. If you would
# like to make RubyVM::AbstractSyntaxTree stable, please join the discussion
# at https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14844.
