  Normalizing Object-oriented Class Styles in JavaScript

  In this project

  we aim at enhancing the maintainability of object-oriented JavaScript applications by automatically normalizing the representation of classes to a single model. We begin by analyzing the different ways that JavaScript programmers have represented the class concept

  identifying and cataloging the different class patterns used in the language. We then choose one of these as the clearest

  and show how it is possible to automatically migrate JavaScript applications from any mix of class styles to the chosen one

  making it easier to understand and maintain object-oriented JavaScript programs. While class representation is the biggest problem

  JavaScript also allows for a number of different expressions of the inheritance concept

  and in future we hope to attack normalization of inheritance styles as well
