Welcome to QuickJS-NG
QuickJS is a small and embeddable JavaScript engine. It aims to support the latest ECMAScript specification.
This project is a fork of the original QuickJS project by Fabrice Bellard, after it went dormant for several years, with the intent of reigniting its development.
In October 2023 @bnoordhuis and @saghul decided to fork the original project with the aim of reigniting it. They reached out to the original authors (@bellard and @chqrlie) about their intentions.
As of December 2023 the initial goal was somewhat accomplished. @bellard resumed working on the project and both parties have been pulling patches from each other since.
As of early 2024 both projects agree the proper path forward involves merging both projects and combining the efforts. While that may take a while, since both projects diverged in certain areas, there is willingness to go in this direction from both sides.
This fork is focused on (but not limited to):
- Community development
- Testing
- Cross-platform support
- ES features
This site is under construction, the entire API is not yet documented.
