V8Js is a PHP extension that embeds Google's V8 JavaScript engine into PHP, allowing execution of JavaScript code from PHP scripts. It provides a sandboxed environment with configurable time and memory limits for safely running untrusted JavaScript.

Use cases

• run javascript from php
• execute untrusted user javascript in a sandbox
• render javascript templates server-side in a php app
• evaluate js expressions inside a php application
• share business logic between php backend and js
• sandbox third-party scripts with time and memory limits

When to choose

• you need to execute javascript within a php application
• you must run untrusted js safely with resource limits
• you want node-like module support inside php

When to avoid

• your stack is not php
• you need windows support
• you can use a separate node.js service instead
• you need the latest v8 features on unsupported platforms
