JScript
NOTE: This had nothing to do with Microsoft's dialect of EcmaScript
WARNING: Currently, this code is mostly undocumented. Proceed with caution and a psychiatrist.
JScript is an engine, capable of running EcmaScript 5, written entirely in Java. This engine has been developed with the goal of being easy to integrate with your preexisting codebase, THE GOAL OF THIS ENGINE IS NOT PERFORMANCE. My crude experiments show that this engine is 50x-100x slower than V8, which, although bad, is acceptable for most simple scripting purposes.
Example
The following will create a REPL using the engine as a backend. Not that this won't properly log errors. I recommend checking out the implementation in Main.main
:
var engine = new PolyfillEngine(new File("."));
var in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
engine.start();
while (true) {
try {
var raw = in.readLine();
var res = engine.pushMsg(false, engine.global(), Map.of(), "<stdio>", raw, null).await();
Values.printValue(engine.context(), res);
System.out.println();
}
catch (EngineException e) {
try {
System.out.println("Uncaught " + e.toString(engine.context()));
}
catch (InterruptedException _e) { return; }
}
catch (IOException | InterruptedException e) { return; }
}
