The resulting objects are suitable for use with the rest of the [Shift suite](http://shift-ast.org/).

There is a version with typechecking available as `shift-ast/checked` for use during development.

## Status

## Installation

npm install shift-ast
```


## Usage

var AST = require("shift-ast"); // or "shift-ast/checked"
var myAstFragment = new AST.LabeledStatement({
  label: "label",
  body: new AST.EmptyStatement
});
```
