module Parser

  ##
  # {Parser::Rewriter} offers a basic API that makes it easy to rewrite
  # existing ASTs. It's built on top of {Parser::AST::Processor} and
  # {Parser::Source::Rewriter}.
  #
  # For example, assume you want to remove `do` tokens from a while statement.
  # You can do this as following:
  #
  #     require 'parser/current'
  #
  #     class RemoveDo < Parser::Rewriter
  #       def on_while(node)
  #         # Check if the statement starts with "do"
  #         if node.location.begin.is?('do')
  #           remove(node.location.begin)
  #         end
  #       end
  #     end
  #
  #     code = <<-EOF
  #     while true do
  #       puts 'hello'
  #     end
  #     EOF
  #
  #     buffer        = Parser::Source::Buffer.new('(example)')
  #     buffer.source = code
  #     parser        = Parser::CurrentRuby.new
  #     ast           = parser.parse(buffer)
  #     rewriter      = RemoveDo.new
  #
  #     # Rewrite the AST, returns a String with the new form.
  #     puts rewriter.rewrite(buffer, ast)
  #
  # This would result in the following Ruby code:
  #
  #     while true
  #       puts 'hello'
  #     end
  #
  # Keep in mind that {Parser::Rewriter} does not take care of indentation when
  # inserting/replacing code so you'll have to do this yourself.
  #

  # describing rewriters in greater detail.
