Embedthis Ejscript For Linux

Embedthis Ejscript or simply Ejscript, is an open source, cross-platform, powerful, compact and fast implementation of the JavaScript (JS) scripting language that can be used anywhere outside a web browser.

It can be used in embedded devices, embedded applications, for server side web scripting, or anything outside the web browser that your imagination can dream up. It is compatible with GNU/Linux, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X operating systems.

The software fully complies with the ECMAScript Edition 3 specification. However, it adds numerous enhancements, such as class declarations, modules, optional typing, as well as a rich system library.

Powered by a model/view/controller (MVC) paradigm, Embedthis Ejscript supports SQL databases that integrate an ORM layer. It also includes support for jQuery, a collection of Ajax view controls, automatic validations, and a templating engine.

The project comprises of a wide range to utilities, including a highly configurable and embeddable JavaScript VM (Virtual Machine) engine, various JavaScript language extensions, a MVC (Model View Controller) web framework, high-level and compact byte code, and a tool for generating API documentation.

It also comes with an integrated compiler, a standalone compiler, a composite native class interface, a symbolic assembler listing generator, a comprehensive star system class library that includes various classes, such as File I/O, HTTP, Events, Sockets, Timers and Streams, as well as a broad range of examples and documentation.
