Statikan

Statikan is a software library and toolset designed for static analysis of source code. It aims to identify potential bugs, vulnerabilities, and code quality issues before an application is compiled or run. Developed with a focus on extensibility and ease of integration into development workflows, Statikan supports multiple programming languages. Its primary function is to parse code, build an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST), and then traverse this tree to apply a series of predefined or custom rules. These rules can detect a wide range of problems, from simple style violations to complex logical errors that might lead to runtime exceptions or security breaches.

The architecture of Statikan allows developers to define their own analysis rules, making it adaptable to specific project requirements or coding standards. This is often achieved through a domain-specific language or scripting interface. Integration with continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines is a key use case, enabling automated code reviews and early detection of issues. By performing analysis without executing the code, Statikan offers a fast and efficient way to improve code reliability and maintainability. The output of the analysis is typically presented in a human-readable format, often with suggestions for remediation.
