- Small size. Compiled static size is in 40k - 120k range, RAM footprint on initialization is about 800 bytes with freeze feature, 15k without freeze feature
- Simple and intuitive C/C++ API. It is easy to export existing C/C++ functions into JavaScript environment
- Standard: V7 implements JavaScript 5.1
- Usable out-of-the-box: V7 provides an auxiliary library with Hardware (SPI, UART, etc), File, Crypto, Network API
- Source code is both ISO C and ISO C++ compliant
- Very easy to integrate: simply copy two files: v7.h and v7.c into your project
V7 makes it possible to program Internet of Things (IoT) embedded devices in JavaScript. V7 is a part of the full stack Mongoose OS Platform.
