JavaScript<\/strong> often abbreviated as JS<\/strong>, is a high-level<\/a>, interpreted<\/a> scripting language<\/a> that conforms to the ECMAScript<\/a> specification. JavaScript has curly-bracket syntax<\/a>, dynamic typing<\/a>, prototype-based<\/a> object-orientation<\/a>, and first-class functions<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside HTML<\/a> and CSS<\/a>, JavaScript is one of the core technologies of the World Wide Web<\/a>.[<\/a><\/sup>JavaScript enables interactive web pages<\/a> and is an essential part of web applications<\/a>. The vast majority of websites<\/a> use it,  and major web browsers<\/a> have a dedicated JavaScript engine<\/a> to execute it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a multi-paradigm language, JavaScript supports event-driven<\/a>, functional<\/a>, and imperative<\/a> (including object-oriented<\/a> and prototype-based<\/a>) programming styles<\/a>. It has APIs<\/a> for working with text, arrays<\/a>, dates, regular expressions<\/a>, and the DOM<\/a>, but the language itself does not include any I\/O<\/a>, such as networking<\/a>, storage<\/a>, or graphics<\/a> facilities. It relies upon the host environment in which it is embedded to provide these features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initially only implemented client-side<\/a> in web browsers, JavaScript engines are now embedded in many other types of host software, including server-side<\/a> in web servers and databases, and in non-web programs such as word processors and PDF<\/a> software, and in runtime environments that make JavaScript available for writing mobile and desktop applications, including desktop widgets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The terms Vanilla<\/a> JavaScript<\/em> and Vanilla JS<\/em> refer to JavaScript not extended by any frameworks or additional libraries. Scripts written in Vanilla JS are plain JavaScript code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although there are similarities between JavaScript and Java<\/a>, including language name, syntax<\/a>, and respective standard libraries<\/a>, the two languages are distinct and differ greatly in design. JavaScript was influenced by programming languages such as Self<\/a> and Scheme<\/a>.[13]<\/a><\/sup> The JSON<\/a> serialization<\/a> format, used to store data structures<\/a> in files<\/a> or transmit them across networks<\/a>, is based on JavaScript<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
