Question

 

Why I open source my website ?

Because I can't hide source code from you.

 

 

Why I can't hide source code?

Because of the nature of internet.  The nature of internet is free, the browser design inherit the nature of free internet.

The fundermental internet programming language HTML and javascript design inherit the nature of free internet.

 

 

 

How to get source code ?

From browser console

For example let's get source code of this model 6391.

Any webpage's source code has 3 parts.

HTML file, javascript file, and CSS file. 

You only need these 3 files ( javascript and css could have multiple files)

 

Open browser console, click source tab, looking for these 3 parts.

 

Part 1.   HTML is right here.

 

 

 

 

Part 2.  multiple javascript file( xxxx.js) is right here

 

 

 

Part 3.  multiple CSS file( xxxx.css) is right here

 

 

 

If you can get source code of my webiste, can you also use the same way to get soruce code of ESRI's COTS commercial off the shelf product's source code ?

 

 

Sure, of couse you can ! Remember internet's nature is free.

Experience builder's source code is compiled, not human readable, is only machine readable. This is because of experience builder is build on top of Meta's Facebook's frame work called React.js

You can reverse engineering to convert machine readable code to human readable source code by google search multiple method, I am not going to show you how, there are many of them out there.
