JerryScript: JavaScript engine for the Internet of Things
JerryScript is a lightweight JavaScript engine for resource-constrained devices such as microcontrollers. It can run on devices with less than 64 KB of RAM and less than 200 KB of flash memory.
Key characteristics of JerryScript:
- Full ECMAScript 5.1 standard compliance
- 160K binary size when compiled for ARM Thumb-2
- Heavily optimized for low memory consumption
- Written in C99 for maximum portability
- Snapshot support for precompiling JavaScript source code to byte code
- Mature C API, easy to embed in applications
Additional information can be found on our project page and Wiki.
Memory usage and Binary footprint are measured at here with real target daily.
