This should be called React Obfuscate rather that React Armor.
I've done a fair amount of web scraping before and each of their tricks can be broken with enough care. Obfuscating html not only breaks many of the good things about the web but also makes things harder to debug.
- dmak 11y agoWe handle over 1600 Japanese institutions at the company I am working for in Tokyo (Moneytree.jp), and we haven't arrived at a situation where we were defeated by what React Armor is trying to prevent.
- Zarel 11y agoI'm sorry, I've reread your sentence several times, and I still don't understand what it's trying to say. Does your company have the same goals React Armor has (this seems to be what your double-negative is saying), or is it the party React Armor is trying to protect against, or is it relevant to React Armor in some other way? What kind of Japanese institutions are these and what does handling them entail? Are you scraping or modifying DOM, or are the institutions? Are you obfuscating DOM, or are the institutions?
- pandeiro 11y agoOh come on, don't act like it isn't obvious. Do you think he isn't trying to be unclear? Would you rather these Japanese institutions not be handled in some other way?
- Roritharr 11y agoIn the context of moneytree.jp the institutes in question are most likely banks that are reluctant to offer APIs, so the only option for Software Integrators is Web-Scraping. In Germany we have figo.io that allows the local startup scene to access german banks. From what i can gather from their API its also done in part by scraping. Some Banks want to obstruct the scraping and the author claims that none of the tricks React Armor offers have thwarted his company so far.
- dmak 11y agoSorry for the confusion, but Roritharr explained spot on! Thanks Roritharr
