Function EncodeNode

internal/api/encoder/encoder.go:412–414

EncodeNode encodes an arbitrary AST node and its descendants into the binary format. The sourceFile is needed to provide the source text for efficient string encoding. When encoding a non-SourceFile node, the header hash and parse options fields will be zero. Returns the encoded bytes and a NodeInde

// When encoding a non-SourceFile node, the header hash and parse options fields will be zero.
// Returns the encoded bytes and a NodeIndexTable mapping encoder indices to AST nodes.

	return encodeTree(node, sourceFile)
