Only pas2js. 
But there are a lot of test cases, though. Probably they are more suitable
to understand the structure.

The parser can take streams as input. You can create a TStringStream.

But then you must create the parser manually, and not use ParseSource.

The testsuite contains many examples of how to do that. see the tcpars*
units.

That's going to be difficult. The parser expects there to be a module.
It's probably easier to encapsulate the code fragment in a minimal module.

Again, see the testsuite for how to do this.
