QuickJS is a small, embeddable JavaScript engine written in C supporting ES2023 (including modules, async generators, and proxies), with a REPL interpreter (qjs) and a bytecode compiler (qjsc) that can produce standalone executables. This repository is a Chinese-language mirror/fork of Fabrice Bellard's QuickJS with documentation translated into Chinese.

Use cases

• embed a javascript engine in a c application
• run javascript from the command line
• compile javascript to a standalone executable
• script a native app with js
• evaluate es2023 code in a lightweight vm
• embed js scripting in an embedded device

When to choose

• you need a tiny, dependency-free JS engine to embed in C/C++
• you want fast startup and low memory footprint
• you need near-complete ES2023 compliance in a lightweight VM
• you want to compile JS source into standalone binaries

When to avoid

• you need maximum JIT throughput for heavy compute workloads
• you need a browser or Node.js runtime with full standard library and npm ecosystem
• you need official upstream support rather than a community Chinese fork
