Re: How to protect JS Source Code?
This is a huge benefit for 4D—isn’t it nearly impossible to reverse-engineer a compiled 4D structure? I’m not a hacker but that’s been my assumption all these years. It’s boiled down to machine code and nearly impossible to figure out the source from the compiled app—yes?

Re: How to protect JS Source Code?
Obfuscation is the only reliable option with JavaScript. There are tools that “encrypt” the text but they have significant overhead. By definition, JS is text, interpreted. There are JavaScript compilers that sit on JVM. Mixed reviews for all. - CSW On Sat, Jul 14, 2018 at 12:39 AM Robert ListMail via 4D_Tech < 4d_tech@lists.4d.com> wrote: > One of the beauties of 4D is that the source code can be delivered in a > compiled form which more than obfuscates the code.

Re: How to protect JS Source Code?
There is not much you can do. Javascript can be minimized and obfuscated, but there are plenty of tools to reverse that.

How to protect JS Source Code?
One of the beauties of 4D is that the source code can be delivered in a compiled form which more than obfuscates the code. So, if you have a full JavaScript stack application running on the customers server, not merely hosted solution, how can the source code (mostly JS) be protected?
