I just came across this interesting utility for all JavaScript developers.

From its website:

Taffy DB is a free and open source JavaScript library that acts as thin data layer inside Web 2.0 and AJAX applications.

What makes it cool:

• Under 10K!
• Simple, JavaScript Centric Syntax
• Fast
• Easy to include in any web application
• Compatible with major AJAX libraries: YUI, JQuery, Dojo, Prototype, EXT, etc
• CRUD Interface (Create, Read, Update, Delete)
• Sorting
• Looping
• Advanced Queries

BOMDetector is a simple command line tool for detecting BOM in files by searching specified directory path. I know that it can be done very quickly by using any scripting language, but I decided to do it using .NET 2.0 for my personal usage. It has several command line arguments:

• search path (required)
• file search pattern eg. *.php (optional – default is *.*)
• use recursion true/false (optional – default is true)
• output log file path for logging files with BOM (optional)

So it is really simple, but it helped me a lot. I was searching for BOM in for about 9000 files . Please if you found any bug let me know. You can download binary here (.NET 2.0 run-time must be installed or you can download it from here). For those that want to see source I will just recommend great tool for it (I believe that you already know it, if not you should ) – Lutz Roeder’s Reflector.

Happy using
