Obfuscator
==========
[](#obfuscator)
[](https://github.com/htmlwebfan/cognito/releases)[](LICENSE.md)
This package allows you to use php to generate javascript code that adds email addresses to a page. As a result you do not have to hardcode email addresses into the page. since the address is not in the source code of the page, email scrapers and harvesters are avoided for the most part. The package is not meant to be unbeatable by a bot. It is simply an effort to make it too difficult to be worth the attempt.
