Engines

Codacy uses a system of plugin engines to extend the scope of analyses on your repositories, allowing support for new tools and languages every day. To create your own engine, check the Tool Developer Guide.

Analysis Engines

Here are the engines currently used on Codacy. Our GitHub links list the version being used for each engine as well as additional plugins that we support for each tool.
