Classes

ArrayExpressionAst

The ast that represents an array expression, e.g. @(1). The array literal (e.g. 1,2,3) is represented by ArrayLiteralAst.

ArrayLiteralAst

The ast that represents an array literal expression, e.g. 1,2,3. An array expression, e.g. @(dir), is represented by ArrayExpressionAst. An array literal expression can be constructed from a single element, as happens with the unary comma operator, e.g. ,4.

AssignmentStatementAst

The ast that represents an assignment statement, e.g. $x = 42.

Ast

The abstract base class for all PowerShell abstract syntax tree nodes.

AstVisitor

AstVisitor is used for basic scenarios requiring traversal of the nodes in an Ast. An implementation of AstVisitor does not explicitly traverse the Ast, instead, the engine traverses all nodes in the Ast and calls the appropriate method on each node.

AstVisitor2

AstVisitor for new Ast node types.

AttributeAst

The ast representing an attribute with optional positional and named arguments.

AttributeBaseAst

An abstract base class representing attributes that accept optional arguments, e.g. [Parameter()], as well as type constraints, such as [int].

MergingRedirectionToken

A merging redirection.

NamedAttributeArgumentAst

The ast representing a named attribute argument. For example, in [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)], this ast represents Mandatory=$true.
