javascript - jxcore can't protect source code -
i saw blog jxcore can create executable based on js code (to run command line application) , protect source code being seen easily. but when tried following, saw excutable file (in ubuntu) still contains source # jx package test1.js # change library , extract attribute in file test1.jxp false # jx compile test1.jxp # grep "this test1" test1 binary file test1 matches the little js file test1.js console.log("this test1"); i understand there no perfect way of protecting application being reversed. hoped there no simple way (like "strings" command) grab source code out of executable. the blog post read is, put, outdated , wrong. the "protection" features provided jxcore severely flawed , , largely removed in later releases of project. do not use jxcore. development on project halted in march 2016 ; has fallen behind node.js platform, , provides no real benefits on open solutions pkg .
