Koders.com


Koders.com, now a Black Duck Software company, is a free on-line search engine for open source software and other web-downloadable code.

Over 30,000 developers each day rely on Koders to search over 766 million lines of code written in over 30 languages and identified with 28 software licenses. The power of Koders allows developers to quickly find reusable open source code, methods, examples, algorithms and more, enabling them to complete projects faster.

Black Duck will enhance the Koders.com search database with code and metadata from the Black Duck KnowledgeBase, the industry’s most complete database of open source and third-party code.

The combination of Black Duck with Koders allows us to offer the industry’s most comprehensive array of capabilities for incorporating open source software into application development.

  • Code search: With Koders, Black Duck gains a powerful code search engine that can search for specific code functions or solutions in repositories across the Internet.
  • Component search: Black Duck Code Center enables development teams to search a KnowledgeBase containing hundreds of thousands of open source components. Developers can internally publish a catalog of approved open source components to facilitate reuse within their own organizations. As previously anticipated, Black Duck Code Center was released in the first quarter of 2008 for general availability.
  • Fragment/File search: Black Duck protexIP™ automates the review of code and finds unapproved code fragments, files or entire components that were integrated into a code base without adhering to a company’s open source review policies. This capability can be used to uncover licensing violations, security issues, unsupported open source and outdated code.
