#obfuscate  javascript

Obfuscation is the process of converting JS native syntax into unreadable code for humans (or very difficult to understand). This is accomplished via Javascript Obfuscators, which minify/compress the original code. This is a method of protecting the code such that reverse engineering is difficult. Writing source code with incomprehensible and strange syntax is also a game.

The strategies involve the usage of ASCII codes (to replace characters with letters), brief non-defined variable names, overcoding such as base64, and so on.
