## Overview

The **ES6 to ES5 Converter** transforms modern JavaScript (ES6+) code into compatible ES5 code. This tool is essential for developers who want to ensure their applications run smoothly across all browsers, especially older ones that do not support ES6 features.

## Features

- **Babel Integration**: Utilizes Babel for accurate syntax transformation.
- **Support for Multiple Versions**: Works with ES2015, ES2016, ES2017, and ES2018.

Replace `` with the path to your ES6+ JavaScript file and `` with the desired output path for the ES5 code.

## Supported Syntax

The converter supports a variety of ES6+ features, including but not limited to:

- **Arrow Functions**: Converts arrow functions to traditional function expressions.

- **Modules**: Handles `import` and `export` statements.

## Examples

### Arrow Function

**ES6+ Code**:
```javascript
const add = (a, b) => a + b;
```

var add = function(a, b) {
return a + b;
};
```

### Class

**ES6+ Code**:
```javascript
class Person {
constructor(name) {
this.name = name;
}
}
```

**Converted ES5 Code**:

var Person = function(name) {
this.name = name;
};
```

### Template Literal
