JavaScript ( / ˈ ɑː v ə ˌ s k r ɪ p t / [6] ), often abbreviated as JS , is a high-level , dynamic , weakly typed , prototype-based , multi-paradigm , and interpreted programming language . Alongside HTML and CSS , JavaScript is one of the three core technologies of World Wide Web content production . It is used to make webpages interactive and provide online programs, including video games. The majority of websites employ it, and all modern web browsers support it without the need for plug-ins by means of a built-in JavaScript engine . Each of the many JavaScript engines represent a different implementation of JavaScript, all based on the ECMAScript specification, with some engines not supporting the spec fully, and with many engines supporting additional features beyond ECMA.

JavaScript ( / ˈ ɑː v ə ˌ s k r ɪ p t / ; JS ) is a dynamic computer programming language . [5] It is most commonly used as part of web browsers , whose implementations allow client-side scripts to interact with the user , control the browser, communicate asynchronously , and alter the document content that is displayed. [5] It is also used in server-side network programming with frameworks such as Node.js , game development and the creation of desktop and mobile applications.

JavaScript is an implementation of the ECMAScript language standard and is typically used to enable programmatic access to computational objects within a host environment. It can be characterized as a prototype-based object-oriented [6] scripting language that is dynamic , weakly typed and has first-class functions . It is also considered a functional programming language [1] like Scheme and OCaml because it has closures and supports higher-order functions . [7]

JavaScript is an object-oriented [2] scripting language used to enable programmatic access to objects within both the client application and other applications . It is primarily used in the form of client-side JavaScript , implemented as an integrated component of the web browser , allowing the development of enhanced user interfaces and dynamic websites . JavaScript is a dialect of the ECMAScript standard and is characterized as a dynamic , weakly typed , prototype-based language with first-class functions . JavaScript was influenced by many languages and was designed to look like Java , but to be easier for non-programmers to work with. [3] [4]

JavaScript is the name of Netscape Communications Corporation 's implementation of the ECMAScript standard, a scripting language based on the concept of prototype-based programming . The language is best known for its use in websites (as client-side JavaScript ), but is also used to enable scripting access to objects embedded in other applications.

JavaScript is an object-based scripting programming language based on the concept of prototypes . The language is best known for its use in websites , but is also used to enable scripting access to objects embedded in other applications. It was originally developed by Brendan Eich of Netscape Communications Corporation under the name Mocha , then LiveScript , and finally renamed to JavaScript. Like Java , JavaScript has a C-like syntax , but it has far more in common with the Self programming language than with Java.

JavaScript is an object-oriented scripting language based on the concept of prototypes . The language is most well known for its use in websites . It was originally developed by Brendan Eich of Netscape Communications under the name Mocha and then LiveScript but then renamed to "JavaScript". JavaScript has a syntax close to that of Sun MicrosystemsJava language. But beside name and syntax the language has more in common with Self than with Java. JavaScript was first standardized in 1997–1999 by ECMA under the name ECMAScript . The standard ( as of December 1999 ) is ECMA-262 Edition 3, and corresponds to JavaScript 1.5. This is also now an ISO standard.

The ECMAScript programming language , commonly known as JavaScript , is an object-oriented scripting language specified by the ECMA -262 standard. Netscape Communications originally developed the language under the name "LiveScript" but then renamed it to "JavaScript" and gave it a syntax closer to that of the Java programming language developed by Sun Microsystems . This happened at roughly the same time Netscape was including support for Java technology in its Netscape Navigator browser. The unfortunate change proved a source of much confusion. To be short, there is no real relation between Java and JavaScript. Their only similarities are some syntax and the fact that both technologies are used extensively on on the World Wide Web .
