But at some point that BSON has to be decoded into Javascript in order for the browser to run it, and if the browser can read it then so can a malicious individual. OK it¹s obfuscated, but there will be tools to help de-obfuscate it. The bottom line is that you cannot prevent people from seeing what your app does, given enough time and dedication.

I guess one way to make it more opaque is to code numbers instead of strings, when it comes to sensitive data about hardware that is being managed by this front end app...I will try that out. For the sake of curiosity, however, it should be possible to pack all the minified application code into a BSON object which gets pushed into a regular javascript attribute of the top level script, and then at run time decode the BSON into regular JavaScript and get the app going ? Better still, all users to push their own binary schema to create the binary represenation. Any soul up for the challenge? :) Take care, Vishal Sapre Thanks and best regards, Vishal Sapre On Mon, Mar 31, 2014 at 1:12 PM, Tobias Oetiker <t...@oetiker.ch> wrote: > Hi Vishal, > > Saturday Vishal wrote: > >> > Hello, >> > >> > My app involves distributing the qooxdoo client to the user, and I would >> > like to hide my code. >> > >> > How to do this? >> > >> > I see that in build version, a single <folder_name>.js will be created and >> > it will be minified as well. >> > However, is there a way to convert all of this into a binary file. >> > Something like BSON <http://bsonspec.org/>. > > I seriously doubt that anyone would go to the extent to reverse > engineering your javascript frontend code ...
