SBrowse

SBrowse is a simple web-based cross-referencing source code browser. It is similar in purpose to LXR. The difference is that SBrowse is stupid: it does not attempt to understand source code. It deals only with tokens. This has the advantage that it is useful for searching the source code of any language.

SBrowse is written in Python.

Code repository: SBrowse on Github

Getting started

Get the code:

$ git clone git://github.com/mseaborn/sbrowse.git

Run sbrowse.py from the directory you want to browse:

$ cd my-project
$ python path/to/sbrowse.py --port=1234
Listening on port 1234

Then point your Web browser at the port you chose, e.g. http://localhost:1234.
