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.
JerryScript is the lightweight JavaScript engine for very constrained devices such as microcontrollers: Key characteristics of JerryScript:
- Only few kilobytes of RAM available to the engine (<64 KB RAM) * Full ECMAScript 5.1 standard compliance
- Constrained ROM space for the code of the engine (<200 KB ROM) * 170K 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
