Java vs. Javascript Obfuscator vs. SEAP vs. WebAssembly Comparison Chart

JavaScript Obfuscator transforms readable JavaScript source code into an obfuscated and unintelligible form, preventing reverse engineering, tampering, and intellectual property theft while preserving full functionality and compatibility with the latest ECMAScript versions. It includes powerful features such as minification and compression for reduced file size and faster load times, dead code insertion to confuse static analysis, and domain- or IP-based locking to disable code execution outside authorized environments. The tool provides GUI-driven desktop batch processing that allows users to protect JavaScript embedded in HTML, PHP, JSP, or similar files with just a few clicks, and supports keeping initial comments or inserting custom headers into output files. Advanced controls let you exclude certain names from obfuscation and ensure consistent symbol renaming across multiple files.

WebAssembly (abbreviated Wasm) is a binary instruction format for a stack-based virtual machine. Wasm is designed as a portable compilation target for programming languages, enabling deployment on the web for client and server applications. The Wasm stack machine is designed to be encoded in a size- and load-time-efficient binary format. WebAssembly aims to execute at native speed by taking advantage of common hardware capabilities available on a wide range of platforms. WebAssembly describes a memory-safe, sandboxed execution environment that may even be implemented inside existing JavaScript virtual machines. When embedded in the web, WebAssembly will enforce the same-origin and permissions security policies of the browser. WebAssembly is designed to be pretty-printed in a textual format for debugging, testing, experimenting, optimizing, learning, teaching, and writing programs by hand. The textual format will be used when viewing the source of Wasm modules on the web.
