Related to #4186. Some notable changes: - The term 'Error' now strictly refers to native Error objects defined in the ECMA standard, which are ordinary objects. All other uses of 'error' or 'error reference' where the term refers to a thrown value is now called 'exception'. - Simplified the naming scheme of many String API functions. These functions will now also take an 'encoding' argument to specify the desired encoding in which to operate. - Removed the substring-copy-to-buffer functions. These functions behaved awkwardly, as they use character index to specify the start/end positions, and were mostly used incorrectly with byte offsets instead. The functionality can still be replicated with other functions if necessary. - String-to-buffer functions will no longer fail if the buffer is not sufficiently large, the string will instead be cropped. - Fixed the usage of the '_sz' prefix in many API functions. The term 'sz' means zero-terminated string in hungarian notation, this was used incorrectly in many cases. - Renamed most of the public API functions to have shorter, more on-point names, rather than the often too long descriptive names. Functions are now also grouped by the type of value they operate on, where this makes sense. JerryScript-DCO-1.0-Signed-off-by: Dániel Bátyai dbatyai@inf.u-szeged.hu
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.
