BSLI - Bytecode Source Language Identifier

A library that attempts to identify the source code languages that bytecode classes were compiled from.

Pull requests that add support for detecting new source code languages, fix detection methods, and/or improve detection methods are welcome.

Supported languages

• Java
• Scala
• Groovy
• Kotlin
• Ceylon

Common uses

• Determining which standard libraries need to be accessible to be analyzed before you begin in depth static analysis.
• Determining which standard libraries need to be on the class path before loading a class to predict/prevent ClassNotFoundExceptions.
• Determining if you're going to be able to get reasonable output from a decompiler by checking if the classes source code language is the target language of the decompiler.
