ABSTRACT
- OSSP js is a 1:1 repackaging of the Mozilla SpiderMonkey JavaScript
- C engine. It is fully JavaScript 1.6 and ECMAScript 3 compliant.
-
- JavaScript is a high-level programming language. Brendan Eich
- originally invented JavaScript under the name Livescript at Netscape
- Communications in 1995. The language is heavily influenced by other
- languages like Java, C, and Perl. JavaScript was standardized by ECMA
- and ISO as ECMAScript. JavaScript 1.5 is identical to ECMAScript 3
- (ECMA-262) and ISO/IEC 16262:2002.
-
- - stand-alone distribution
- - Autoconf build environment
- - automated Perl-to-JS and JS-to-Perl (PERLCONNECT) build support
- - automated CLI line editing (EDITLINE) build support
- - libjs contains both JS library and fdlibm library
- - all symbols of JS library and fdlibm library are namespace protected (JS_ and js_)
+ OSSP js is a stand-alone repackaging of the JavaScript (JS)
+ programming language reference implementation from Mozilla (aka
+ "JSRef" or "SpiderMonkey"). The reason for this distribution is
+ to provide a small and fully stand-alone distribution providing a
+ portable and more flexible build environment based on GNU autoconf,
+ GNU libtool and GNU shtool, including support for easy JavaScript
+ build-time feature set selection (ECMA-3, JS-1.5, JS-1.6) and optional
+ line editing and JS-to-Perl binding support during building the
+ command line interface. Additionally, the C API in "libjs" contains
+ both the JavaScript engine and its required Sun math library and with
+ all internal symbols protected under the "js" namespace. Finally,
+ a pkg-config(1) specification is provided to allow applications to
+ easily build with the JavaScript C API.
