});
sm.evaluate('throw 12').on('throw', function(e) {
    // got the thrown exception
});
sm.check('delete for this').on('throw', function(e) {
    // got the syntax error
});
sm.check('function asi() { return 12 }').on('return', function() {

• parse(src[, shell="js"]) : parses source with SpiderMonkey, producing an AST with the Mozilla Parser API
• parseFile(path[, shell="js"]) : parses a file with SpiderMonkey
• check(src[, shell="js"]) : checks source for syntax errors with SpiderMonkey
• checkFile(path[, shell="js"]) : checks a file for syntax errors with SpiderMonkey
