Wakaru
Wakaru unpacks and decompiles JavaScript bundles from tools like webpack, esbuild, Metro, and Browserify, then reverses the effects of minifiers (Terser, SWC) and transpilers (Babel, TypeScript, SWC). It restores modern JavaScript syntax including classes, async/await, JSX, and more while preserving semantics. It includes a playground for interactive use and has been rigorously tested against thousands of real-world and Test262 cases.
