srcmap-sourcemap

High-performance source map parser and consumer for Rust.

Parses source map JSON and provides O(log n) position lookups. Implements the ECMA-426 Source Map v3 specification. Drop-in Rust equivalent of @jridgewell/trace-mapping.

Install

[dependencies]
srcmap-sourcemap = "0.3"

Usage

use srcmap_sourcemap::SourceMap;

let json = r#"{"version":3,"sources":["input.js"],"names":[],"mappings":"AAAA;AACA"}"#;
let sm = SourceMap::from_json(json).unwrap();

// Forward lookup: generated position -> original position (0-based)
let loc = sm.original_position_for(0, 0).unwrap();
assert_eq!(sm.source(loc.source), "input.js");
assert_eq!(loc.line, 0);
assert_eq!(loc.column, 0);

// Reverse lookup: original position -> generated position
let pos = sm.generated_position_for("input.js", 0, 0).unwrap();
assert_eq!(pos.line, 0);
assert_eq!(pos.column, 0);

API

`SourceMap`

Method	Description
`from_json(json) -> Result<SourceMap>`	Parse a source map from a JSON string (regular or indexed)
`from_json_no_content(json) -> Result<SourceMap>`	Parse JSON without allocating `sourcesContent` strings
`from_parts(file, source_root, sources, ...) -> SourceMap`	Build from pre-decoded components and mappings
`from_vlq(mappings_str, sources, names, ...) -> Result<SourceMap>`	Build from pre-parsed components and a VLQ mappings string
`from_vlq_with_range_mappings(mappings_str, ..., range_mappings_str) -> Result<SourceMap>`	Build from VLQ mappings and optional range mappings strings
`from_json_lines(json, start_line, end_line) -> Result<SourceMap>`	Parse and decode only the given generated-line range
`builder() -> SourceMapBuilder`	Create a builder for constructing a `SourceMap` step by step
`original_position_for(line, col) -> Option<OriginalLocation>`	Look up original position for a generated position
`original_position_for_with_bias(line, col, bias) -> Option<OriginalLocation>`	Look up original position with explicit search bias
`generated_position_for(source, line, col) -> Option<GeneratedLocation>`	Reverse lookup: original position to generated position
`generated_position_for_with_bias(source, line, col, bias) -> Option<GeneratedLocation>`	Reverse lookup with explicit search bias
`all_generated_positions_for(source, line, col) -> Vec<GeneratedLocation>`	Find all generated positions for an original position
`map_range(start_line, start_col, end_line, end_col) -> Option<MappedRange>`	Map a generated range to its original range
`all_mappings() -> &[Mapping]`	All decoded mappings
`mappings_for_line(line) -> &[Mapping]`	Slice of mappings for a single generated line
`source(index) -> &str`	Resolve a source index to its filename
`get_source(index) -> Option<&str>`	Resolve a source index to its filename, or `None` if out of bounds
`name(index) -> &str`	Resolve a name index to its string
`get_name(index) -> Option<&str>`	Resolve a name index to its string, or `None` if out of bounds
`source_index(name) -> Option<u32>`	Look up a source filename to its index
`line_count() -> usize`	Number of generated lines
`mapping_count() -> usize`	Total number of decoded mappings
`has_range_mappings() -> bool`	Whether any mappings are range mappings
`range_mapping_count() -> usize`	Number of range mappings
`encode_mappings() -> String`	Encode all mappings to a VLQ mappings string
`encode_range_mappings() -> Option<String>`	Encode range mappings to VLQ string
`to_json() -> String`	Serialize the source map to JSON
`to_json_with_options(exclude_content) -> String`	Serialize to JSON, optionally excluding `sourcesContent`

`LazySourceMap`

Method	Description
`from_json(json) -> Result<LazySourceMap>`	Parse JSON eagerly but defer VLQ decoding
`from_json_no_content(json) -> Result<LazySourceMap>`	Parse JSON without allocating `sourcesContent` strings
`from_json_fast(json) -> Result<LazySourceMap>`	Fast-scan mode: skips `sourcesContent`, only byte-scans for semicolons
`from_vlq(mappings, sources, names, ...) -> Result<LazySourceMap>`	Build from pre-parsed components and a VLQ mappings string
`decode_line(line) -> Result<Vec<Mapping>>`	Decode mappings for a single generated line on demand
`original_position_for(line, col) -> Option<OriginalLocation>`	Look up original position (decodes the line lazily)
`line_count() -> usize`	Number of generated lines
`source(index) -> &str`	Resolve a source index to its filename
`get_source(index) -> Option<&str>`	Resolve a source index to its filename, or `None` if out of bounds
`name(index) -> &str`	Resolve a name index to its string
`get_name(index) -> Option<&str>`	Resolve a name index to its string, or `None` if out of bounds
`source_index(name) -> Option<u32>`	Look up a source filename to its index
`mappings_for_line(line) -> Vec<Mapping>`	Decoded mappings for a single generated line
`into_sourcemap() -> Result<SourceMap>`	Fully decode and convert to a `SourceMap`
