QuickJS-NG is a small, embeddable JavaScript engine written in C that aims to support the latest ECMAScript specification. It is an actively maintained community fork of Fabrice Bellard's original QuickJS project, focused on testing, cross-platform support, and modern ES features.
Use cases
- embed a javascript engine in a c or c++ application
- run javascript scripts from a native program
- lightweight js interpreter for embedded devices
- evaluate ecmascript code without node.js
- add a scripting language to my game or app
- small footprint javascript runtime for iot
When to choose
- you need a tiny, embeddable JS engine with low memory footprint
- you want an actively maintained fork with modern ECMAScript support
- you need cross-platform JavaScript scripting inside a C/C++ codebase
When to avoid
- you need maximum JavaScript throughput like V8 or JIT compilation
- you need the full Node.js standard library and npm ecosystem
- you want a browser-grade JavaScript runtime
