## What it is
nodejsscan is a static application security testing (SAST) scanner for Node.js applications, built on libsast and semgrep. It provides a web UI, CLI, and Python API for scanning JavaScript code for security vulnerabilities.

## Use cases
- scan node.js app for security vulnerabilities
- static analysis of javascript code for insecure patterns
- integrate sast scanning into ci pipeline for nodejs
- find hardcoded secrets and injection flaws in node code
- run a security code review on a nodejs project
- self-host a web ui for nodejs security scanning

## When to choose
- you need automated SAST for Node.js/JavaScript codebases
- you want both a CLI for CI/CD and a web UI for triaging findings
- you prefer semgrep-based rule scanning with a Node.js focus

## When to avoid
- you need dynamic (DAST) or runtime security testing
- you need Windows support, which was dropped in version 4
- you scan non-JavaScript languages
