v8go is a Go library providing bindings to the V8 JavaScript engine, allowing Go applications to execute JavaScript, create isolated VMs and contexts, and expose Go functions as JavaScript callbacks. It enables embedding a full JavaScript runtime inside Go programs.

Use cases

  • run javascript from go
  • embed a js engine in a go application
  • evaluate user-supplied scripts safely in go
  • call go functions from javascript
  • build a plugin system with javascript scripting
  • execute js expressions server-side in go

When to choose

  • you need a full, spec-compliant JavaScript engine inside a Go program
  • you want to sandbox and evaluate dynamic scripts at runtime
  • you need bidirectional Go/JavaScript interop with callbacks and shared objects

When to avoid

  • you only need to run Node.js scripts as subprocesses
  • you want lightweight JS evaluation without a large C++ dependency
  • your project is not written in Go
