[Soot-list] soot vs wala

[Eric Bodden]

Hi Prashant.

I have, but only roughly. Wala currently has two advantages over Soot
for me: (1.) It supports JavaScript as well as Java. (2.) It has an
implementation of the IFDS framework for interprocedural data-flow
analysis.

On the other hand, to me it seems that Soot support many more analyses
out of the box compared to Wala, and also has a more readable and much
better documented API (which really as to be seen in a relative
sense).

Of course this is only a very subjective and superficial comparison...
