||
|
||
**PMD** is a source code analyzer. It finds common programming flaws like unused variables, empty catch blocks,
|
||
unnecessary object creation, and so forth. It supports many languages. It can be extended with custom rules.
|
||
It uses JavaCC and Antlr to parse source files into abstract syntax trees (AST) and runs rules against them to find violations.
|
||
Rules can be written in Java or using a XPath query.
|
||
|
||
It supports Java, JavaScript, Salesforce.com Apex and Visualforce,
|
||
Modelica, PLSQL, Apache Velocity, HTML, XML and XSL.
|
||
Scala is supported, but there are currently no Scala rules available.
|
||
|
||
Additionally, it includes **CPD**, the copy-paste-detector. CPD finds duplicated code in
|
||
C/C++, C#, Dart, Fortran, Gherkin, Go, Groovy, HTML, Java, JavaScript, JSP, Kotlin, Lua, Matlab, Modelica,
|
||
Objective-C, Perl, PHP, PLSQL, Python, Ruby, Salesforce.com Apex and Visualforce, Scala, Swift, T-SQL and XML.
|
||
|
||
In the future we hope to add support for data/control flow analysis and automatic (quick) fixes where
|
||
it makes sense.
|
||
|
||
## 🚀 Installation and Usage
|
||
|
||
Download the latest binary zip from the [releases](https://github.com/pmd/pmd/releases/latest)

|
||
|
||
**Demo:**
|
||
|
||
This shows how PMD can detect for loops, that can be replaced by for-each loops.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
There are plugins for Maven and Gradle as well as for various IDEs.
|
||
