Put this on your own site

The frame below runs the same code as this page, in the reader's own browser. Nothing is sent to us, and nothing is sent to you.

AccentBackground

Pick a dark background and the text and panels follow it, so the frame stays readable on a dark page.

How it works

The selected language supplies line and block delimiters, optional JSDoc blocks are preserved, and matching spans are removed before the remaining source is joined. This is delimiter-based text processing rather than a complete lexer.

Auto detection covers common source languages.
JSDoc preservation defaults on for API documentation.

Worked example

Strip JavaScript comments

Remove single-line and block comments from JS code

Input

											// Initialize counter
let count = 0;
/* Increment
   the counter */
count++;

Output

												
let count = 0;

count++;

When to use this

Minification pre-passes, generated fixtures, and source documentation reviews strip comments.

Edge cases

A marker inside a string can be removed by the simple pass.
SQL -- and Python # depend on selected language.
JSDoc remains when preservation is enabled.
