CodeAnalyse

CodeAnalyse is a cross-language code analysis platform designed to help developers assess code quality, identify defects, and improve maintainability. It emphasizes static analysis, security checks, and quality metrics, and supports extension through plugins to add language backends and rules.

Key features include static analysis with configurable rules, detection of code smells and anti-patterns, security vulnerability checks, complexity and coupling metrics, and duplicate code detection. It can generate reports in HTML, JSON, or SARIF formats and exposes an API for integration with other tools.

Architecture: The core engine is language-agnostic and loads language backends as plugins. Each backend provides a parser, an AST representation, and a set of analysis rules. Results are aggregated and can be produced incrementally to support large repositories and CI workflows.

Languages and extensibility: The project ships with backends for major languages such as Java, Python, JavaScript, Go, and C/C++, with community-contributed extensions for additional languages. Users can author custom rules and language backends via a plugin API.

Usage and workflow: CodeAnalyse offers a command-line interface and optional web user interface in some deployments. It supports rule configuration, suppression files, and severity settings, and is designed for integration with continuous integration systems and issue trackers.

Development and licensing: CodeAnalyse is released as open-source software and maintained through a public repository with documentation, issue tracking, and contribution guidelines. The licensing is permissive to encourage adoption and collaboration.

Impact and reception: Teams use CodeAnalyse to enforce coding standards, improve security posture, and accelerate code reviews by surfacing actionable findings early in the development cycle.
