A command-line tool that anonymizes source code while preserving its structural integrity and logic. CodeAnonymizer replaces variable and method names with generic alternatives, making it ideal for sharing code snippets without exposing sensitive information.
- Smart Variable Anonymization: Replaces variable and method names while maintaining code readability
- Structure Preservation: Retains the original code structure and logic
- Multi-Language Support: Compatible with multiple programming languages
- Terminal Output: Displays anonymized code directly in your terminal
- Configurable Settings: Flexible options for string literal preservation
Input code:
public class UserService {
private final DatabaseConnection dbConnection;
public User findUserByEmail(String emailAddress) {
return dbConnection.queryFirst("SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = ?", emailAddress);
}
}Output code:
public class var1 {
private final var2 var3;
public var4 var5(String var6) {
return var3.queryFirst("SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = ?", var6);
}
