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
Install the NuGet package.
See the wiki for full usage details.
Support for ECMAScript 6 is in progress. See http://kangax.github.io/compat-table/es6/ for the definition of each feature.
