Description

ECMAScript is a standardized language also known variously as JavaScript, JScript, and LiveScript. SEE is a library that provides a parser and runtime environment for this language. It conforms to ECMAScript Edition 3, and to JavaScript 1.5, with some compatibility switches for earlier versions of JavaScript and Microsoft's JScript.

SEE can let you:

• manage multiple, separate ECMAScript runtime environments,
• evaluate instances of user-supplied ECMAScript program text, and
• expose your application's objects to those programs.

You can view the current library documentation.

SEE is not particularly fast. It was written for correctness and portability. When compared against a benchmark test, SEE comes out 6.2 'times slower' that Microsoft's JScript, and 12.7 'times slower' than Nombas's ScriptEase 4.30.
