# jerry_run_simple

**Summary**

The simplest way to run JavaScript.

**Prototype**

```c
jerry_completion_code_t
jerry_run_simple (const jerry_char_t *script_source,
                  size_t script_source_size,
                  jerry_flag_t flags);
```

- `script_source` - source code, it must be a valid utf8 string.
- `script_source_size` - size of source code buffer, in bytes.
- return value - completion code, indicating whether execution was successful
                 (`JERRY_COMPLETION_CODE_OK`), or an unhandled JavaScript exception occurred
                 (`JERRY_COMPLETION_CODE_UNHANDLED_EXCEPTION`).

**Example**

```c
{
  const jerry_char_t *script = "print ('Hello, World!');";

  jerry_run_simple (script, strlen ((const char *) script), JERRY_FLAG_EMPTY);
}
```

# jerry_init

**Summary**

Initializes the JerryScript engine, making possible to run JavaScript code and perform operations on
JavaScript values.

**Prototype**

```c
void
jerry_init (jerry_flag_t flags);
```

`flags` - combination of various engine configuration flags:

- `JERRY_FLAG_EMPTY` - no flags, just initialize in default configuration.
- `JERRY_FLAG_SHOW_OPCODES` - print compiled byte-code.
- `JERRY_FLAG_MEM_STATS` - dump memory statistics.
- `JERRY_FLAG_MEM_STATS_SEPARATE` - dump memory statistics and reset peak values after parse.
- `JERRY_FLAG_ENABLE_LOG` - enable logging.

**Example**

```c
{
  jerry_init (JERRY_FLAG_SHOW_OPCODES | JERRY_FLAG_ENABLE_LOG);

  // ...

  jerry_cleanup ();
}
```

- [jerry_cleanup](#jerry_cleanup)

# jerry_cleanup

**Summary**

Finish JavaScript engine execution, freeing memory and JavaScript values.

*Note*: JavaScript values, received from engine, will be inaccessible after the cleanup.

**Prototype**

```c
void
jerry_cleanup (void);
```

**See also**

- [jerry_init](#jerry_init)


# jerry_parse

**Summary**

Parse specified script to execute in Global scope.

*Note*: Current API doesn't permit replacement or modification of Global scope's code without engine
restart, which means 'jerry_parse' can be invoked only once between `jerry_init` and `jerry_cleanup`.

**Prototype**

```c
bool
jerry_parse (const jerry_char_t *source_p,
             size_t source_size,
             jerry_object_t **error_obj_p);
```

- `source_p` - string, containing source code to parse. It must be a valid utf8 string.
- `source_size` - size of the string, in bytes.
- `error_obj_p` - error object (output parameter).

**Example**

```c
{
  jerry_init (JERRY_FLAG_EMPTY);

  char script [] = "print ('Hello, World!');";
  size_t script_size = strlen ((const char *) script);

  jerry_object_t *error_object_p = NULL;
  if (!jerry_parse (script, script_size, &error_object_p))
  {
    /* Error object must be freed, if parsing failed */
    jerry_release_object (error_object_p);
  }

  jerry_cleanup ();
}
```

# jerry_parse_and_save_snapshot

**Summary**

Generate snapshot from the specified source code.

**Prototype**

```c
size_t
jerry_parse_and_save_snapshot (const jerry_char_t *source_p,
                               size_t source_size,
                               bool is_for_global,
                               uint8_t *buffer_p,
                               size_t buffer_size);
```

- `source_p` - script source, it must be a valid utf8 string.
- `source_size` - script source size, in bytes.
- `is_for_global` - snapshot would be executed as global (true) or eval (false).
- `buffer_p` - buffer to save snapshot to.
- `buffer_size` - the buffer's size.
- return value
  - the size of snapshot, if it was generated succesfully (i.e. there are no syntax errors in source
    code, buffer size is sufficient, and snapshot support is enabled in current configuration through
    JERRY_ENABLE_SNAPSHOT)
  - 0 otherwise.

**Example**

```c
{
  jerry_init (JERRY_FLAG_EMPTY);

  static uint8_t global_mode_snapshot_buffer[1024];
  const char *code_to_snapshot_p = "(function () { return 'string from snapshot'; }) ();";

  size_t global_mode_snapshot_size = jerry_parse_and_save_snapshot ((jerry_char_t *) code_to_snapshot_p,
                                                                    strlen (code_to_snapshot_p),
                                                                    true,
                                                                    global_mode_snapshot_buffer,
                                                                    sizeof (global_mode_snapshot_buffer));
}
```

# jerry_run

**Summary**

*Note*: The code should be previously registered through `jerry_parse`.

jerry_run (jerry_value_t *error_value_p);
```

- `error_value_p` - error value (output parameter).
- return value - completion code that indicates whether run performed successfully.
  - `JERRY_COMPLETION_CODE_OK` - successful completion
  - `JERRY_COMPLETION_CODE_UNHANDLED_EXCEPTION` - an unhandled JavaScript exception occurred
  - `JERRY_COMPLETION_CODE_INVALID_SNAPSHOT_VERSION` - snapshot version mismatch
  - `JERRY_COMPLETION_CODE_INVALID_SNAPSHOT_FORMAT` - snapshot format is not valid

**Example**

```c
{
  const jerry_char_t script[] = "print ('Hello, World!');";
  size_t script_size = strlen ((const char *) script);

  /* Initialize engine */
  jerry_init (JERRY_FLAG_EMPTY);

  /* Setup Global scope code */
  jerry_object_t *error_object_p = NULL;
  if (!jerry_parse (script, script_size, &error_object_p))
  {
    /* Error object must be freed, if parsing failed */
    jerry_release_object (error_object_p);
  }
  else
  {
    /* Execute Global scope code
     *
     * Note:
     *      Initialization of 'error_value' is not mandatory here.
     */
    jerry_value_t error_value = jerry_create_undefined_value ();
    jerry_completion_code_t return_code = jerry_run (&error_value);

    if (return_code == JERRY_COMPLETION_CODE_UNHANDLED_EXCEPTION)
    {
      /* Error value must be freed, if 'jerry_run' returns with an unhandled exception */
      jerry_release_value (error_value);
    }
  }

  jerry_cleanup ();
}
```

# jerry_exec_snapshot

**Summary**

Execute snapshot from the specified buffer.

**Prototype**

```c
jerry_completion_code_t
jerry_exec_snapshot (const void *snapshot_p,
                     size_t snapshot_size,
                     bool copy_bytecode,
                     jerry_value_t *retval_p);
```

- `snapshot_p` - pointer to snapshot
- `snapshot_size` - size of snapshot
- `copy_bytecode` - flag, indicating whether the passed snapshot buffer should be copied to the
   engine's memory. If set the engine should not reference the buffer after the function returns
   (in this case, the passed buffer could be freed after the call). Otherwise (if the flag is not
   set) - the buffer could only be freed after the engine stops (i.e. after call to jerry_cleanup).
- `retval_p` - return value, ECMA-262 'undefined' if code is executed as global scope code.
- return value - completion code that indicates whether run performed successfully. Same as before.

**Example**

```c
{
  bool is_ok;
  jerry_value_t res;
  static uint8_t global_mode_snapshot_buffer[1024];
  const char *code_to_snapshot_p = "(function () { return 'string from snapshot'; }) ();";

  jerry_init (JERRY_FLAG_EMPTY);
  size_t global_mode_snapshot_size = jerry_parse_and_save_snapshot ((jerry_char_t *) code_to_snapshot_p,
                                                                    strlen (code_to_snapshot_p),
                                                                    true,
                                                                    global_mode_snapshot_buffer,
                                                                    sizeof (global_mode_snapshot_buffer));
  jerry_cleanup ();

  jerry_init (JERRY_FLAG_EMPTY);

  is_ok = (jerry_exec_snapshot (global_mode_snapshot_buffer,
                                global_mode_snapshot_size,
                                false,
                                &res) == JERRY_COMPLETION_CODE_OK);

- `object_p` - pointer to object to set handle in;
- `handle` - handle value;
- `freecb_p` - pointer to "free" callback or NULL (if not NULL the callback would be called upon
  GC of the object).

  ... // receive or construct obj_p and handle_set value

  jerry_set_object_native_handle (obj_p, handle_set, NULL);

                     const jerry_value_t args_p[],
                     uint16_t args_count);
```

- `function_object_p` - the function object to call;

  jerry_value_t val;

  ... // receiving val

  if (jerry_value_is_object (val))
  {
    if (jerry_is_function (jerry_get_object_value (val)))
