Introduction

As is detailed in the abstract, my intention with this project is to write a Parser and error-checker for the JavaScript Language, which has since been standardised by ECMA to become the ECMAScript Language.

Using the Lex and YACC compiler tools and ANSI C, I will be writing a program into which you can feed ECMAScript, and it will report errors in the code. This will lead to higher quality scripting in web pages, since this method of validation is superior to just "trying it" in a web browser.
