ChakraCore is an open-source JavaScript engine with a C API for embedding JavaScript execution into C or C-compatible applications. It was formerly the engine behind Microsoft Edge and now continues as a community project focused on embedded use cases.
Use cases
- embed a javascript engine in a c++ application
- run javascript inside a native app
- add scripting support to my program
- evaluate js from c code
- host a js runtime in a game or tool
When to choose
- you need to embed JavaScript execution in a C/C++ project
- you want a lightweight JS runtime with a C API
- you need a JS engine on Windows, Linux, or macOS
When to avoid
- you need the latest ECMAScript features and active development
- you want a mainstream, well-supported engine like V8 or JavaScriptCore
- you need ARM support on Linux or macOS
