Jurassic is an implementation of the ECMAScript language and runtime. It aims to provide the best performing and most standards-compliant implementation of JavaScript for .NET. Jurassic is not intended for end-users; instead it is intended to be integrated into .NET programs. If you are the author of a .NET program, you can use Jurassic to compile and execute JavaScript code.
- Supports all ECMAScript 3 and ECMAScript 5 functionality, including ES5 strict mode
- Well tested - passes over five thousand unit tests (with over thirty thousand asserts)
- Simple yet powerful API
- Compiles JavaScript into .NET bytecode (CIL); not an interpreter
- Deployed as a single .NET assembly (no native code)
- Basic support for integrated debugging within Visual Studio
- Uses light-weight code generation, so generated code is fully garbage collected
- Tested on .NET 3.5, .NET 4 and Silverlight
- Evaluating an expression
- Executing a script
- Accessing and modifying global variables
- Creating objects and arrays
- Using the console API
- Calling a single .NET method from JavaScript
- Calling a JavaScript function from .NET
- Exposing a .NET class to JavaScript
- Loading a script from a custom source
