QuickJS - A Small, Fast, and Embeddable Javascript Engine
QuickJS is a small and embeddable Javascript engine supporting the ES2020 specification. It is designed to be fast, have a fast startup time, and be easy to embed in other applications.
Project Introduction
Summary
QuickJS is an open-source, modern Javascript engine implementation developed by Fabrice Bellard and Charlie Gordon. It is notable for its small size, high performance, and complete ES2020 compliance, making it ideal for embedding and command-line usage.
Problem Solved
Many existing JavaScript engines are large and resource-intensive, making them unsuitable for environments with limited memory or where fast initialization is critical. QuickJS addresses this by providing a highly optimized, small, and fast alternative.
Core Features
ES2020 Support
Full support for the ES2020 specification, including modules, asynchronous functions, and more.
Small Footprint
Designed to be very small and memory-efficient, suitable for embedded environments.
Fast Startup
Optimized for fast startup time, crucial for command-line tools or serverless functions.
Efficient Execution
Provides low latency and high throughput execution for script processing.
Command-Line Tool
Includes a command-line interpreter for running scripts directly.
