What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.
I made an attempt to build a graphical designer which produces Dart code as output.
I prefer building an AST instead concatenating strings.
It seems that there is no API to make the analyzer analyze the AST without generating source code from the AST first.
This seems very inefficient to me because the first thing the analyzer seems to doing is parsing the source and generating an AST.

The analyzer now has an AST that supports both reading and writing. The Angular compiler uses it to great benefit, and many other tools use the provided visitors (SimpleAstVisitor, RecursiveAstVisitor, etc) as well to work with Dart AST.
