V8 is Google's open‑source high‑performance JavaScript engine written in C++. It can be used as a standalone runtime or embedded into any C++ application.
Use cases
- embed a fast JavaScript engine into a C++ application
- run JavaScript code server‑side for high‑throughput workloads
- accelerate JavaScript execution in custom browsers or tools
- provide a scripting layer for game engines or IoT devices
- benchmark or test ECMAScript features against a reference implementation
When to choose
- You need a high‑performance, standards‑compliant JavaScript engine.
- Your project is written in C++ and can embed native libraries.
- You require direct access to V8's APIs for custom extensions or sandboxing.
When to avoid
- You need a full browser environment with DOM and rendering capabilities.
- Your stack is based on managed languages without native interop (e.g., .NET, Java) and you cannot use C++ bindings.
- You prefer a lighter‑weight scripting engine with a smaller footprint.
