Preventing unauthorized use of developers code

*If we think people are stealing our scripts for use on their own sites then we should not implement in js.

*The user can view the code as JS is interpreted language.

*It is possible to hide code from naive users by placing it in externally linked js files.

*But this will not prevent borrowing the code.

*The code can be retrieved from browsers cache or download it using direct url.

*A partial solution to protect Js code is offered by code obfuscators.

*<font color=#FF00CC>Obfuscators read in JS</font>(or a web page) and <font color=#FF0000>output a functionally equivalent version of the code</font> that is scrambled (presumably) beyond recognition.

*Obfuscators are often included with crenches,but there are number of stand alone obfuscators are available on the internet.

<u>Sample code:</u>
js code:Input

var day=new Date().getDay();
switch (day)
{
case 0:
x="Today is Sunday";
break;
case 1:
x="Today is Monday";
break;
case 2:
x="Today is Tuesday";
break;
case 3:
x="Today is Wednesday";
break;
case 4:
x="Today is Thursday";
break;
case 5:
x="Today is Friday";
break;
case 6:
x="Today is Saturday";
break;
}

<u>Output(Obfuscated result)</u>
