Javascript Engine

A JavaScript engine is a computer program that executes JavaScript (JS) code. A JavaScript engine can be implemented as a standard interpreter, or just-in-time compiler that compiles JavaScript to bytecode in some form.

In a browser, the JavaScript engine runs in concert with the rendering engine via the Document Object Model.

List of popular projects that are implementing a JavaScript engine:

• V8: open source, developed by Google, written in C++. Google Chrome and the many other Chromium-based browsers use it.
• SpiderMonkey: developed by Mozilla for use in Firefox and its forks.
• JavaScriptCore is Apple's engine for its Safari browser.
• Chakra (JScript9): Internet Explorer.
• Chakra (JavaScript): Microsoft Edge.
