What is Codegen?

Codegen is a code manipulation library that automates large-scale refactoring and migrations across Python and JavaScript codebases. It performs static analysis for codebase understanding, simplifies framework transitions like Flask to FastAPI, and integrates with AI for documentation generation to help software engineers modernize their codebases without manual overhead.

What sets Codegen apart?

Codegen sets itself apart with cross-language consistency enforcement that helps engineering teams manage large-scale migrations across multiple codebases. The tool's pattern monitoring system proves valuable for teams working on extensive refactoring projects by identifying code structures that don't match intended design patterns. By reducing manual review time and catching potential issues before deployment, Codegen serves as a quality assurance partner throughout the entire code transformation process.
