ecma426 0.2.0

Run arbirary scripts with sentry_sdk initialized to some DSN on the fly

ecma426

A maintained, close-to-spec implementation of ECMA-426: Source Maps in pure Python. Supports both decoding and encoding, including index maps with sections.

Features

• Up to date — tracks the current ECMA-426 spec.
• Close to spec — code is organized around spec sections, making it easy to verify correctness.
• Pure Python — no C extensions, no dependencies.
• Both directions — decode JSON maps into Python structures, encode tokens back to valid sourcemaps.
• Sections supported — index maps (sections) are handled according to the specification.

Installation

pip install ecma426

Usage

Top-level decode:

import json
import ecma426

with open("app.min.js.map") as f:
    data = json.load(f)

smap = ecma426.loads(data)
print(smap.tokens[0])

Low-level encode / decode:

from ecma426 import codec
from ecma426.model import Mapping

tokens = [
    Mapping(generated_line=0, generated_column=0, source="app.js", original_line=0, original_column=0, name=None)
]

# Encode into a sourcemap dict
smap = codec.encode(tokens)

# Decode back into a MappingIndex
decoded = codec.decode(smap)

Lookups:

# Strict lookup (exact match only, KeyError if absent)
mapping = smap[(10, 42)]

# Nearest-left lookup (will give you "something" at least for slight mismatches)
# returns the mapping at or immediately before (line, column) on the same line
mapping = smap.lookup_left(line=10, column=42)

Future work / Roadmap

We are closely watching the spec for any proposed changes.

Support for DebugIds (pass-through) is already included.

Alternatives

• python-sourcemap -- only supports decoding, no sections.
• evmar's python-sourcemap -- unmaintained (13 years old).
• Sentry's symbolic -- much more than sourcemaps; Rust dependency.
