| Analysis | It maps system structure and dependencies, classifies business logic versus technical code, and generates purpose-level documentation. | Spoon supports source-level static code analysis using processors that inspect AST elements of a selected type. |
| Purpose | Kodebaze is an AI-powered refactoring platform that helps enterprises understand, refactor, and modernize large legacy codebases. | Spoon is an open-source library for analyzing, rewriting, transforming, and transpiling Java source code. |
| Support | Every deployment includes a Forward Deployed Engineer who deploys and configures the platform, supports initial workflows, and transfers knowledge to the customer’s team. | The site directs users seeking professional development, training, or extension support to comment on a GitHub issue. |
| What it does | Kodebaze analyzes large legacy codebases to build a purpose-level representation of what the system does, where business logic lives, and which parts matter. | Spoon is an open-source library for analyzing, rewriting, transforming, and transpiling Java source code through an abstract syntax tree (AST). |

In their own words
Spoon
Spoon is a free, open-source library for analyzing, rewriting, transforming, and transpiling Java source code. It parses source files into an abstract syntax tree (AST), then exposes APIs for inspecting and changing that model. Processors can perform source-level static analysis on selected AST element types, while architectural rules can be expressed as AST checks and run as JUnit tests in continuous integration. Transformation facilities cover instrumentation and refactoring, including helpers for local and generic variables and removing deprecated methods. Spoon can also provide shared analysis of binary and source code through CtClass objects as an alternative to Java reflection. The project supports Java source up to Java 25, but runtime requirements vary: Spoon 11.x needs JDK 17 or later, 10.x needs JDK 11 or later, and 9.x needs Java 8. It is available through Java, the command line, Maven, and Gradle, with a dependency JAR on Maven Central. Command-line use requires manual classpath handling and source dependencies specified with --source-classpath. Spoon is an official Inria project and an OW2 consortium member.
