JavaScript (JS) is een lichtgewicht, geïnterpreteerde programmeertaal met eersteklas functies. Hoewel het beste bekend als de scripttaal voor web pagina's, wordt het ook door vele niet-browser omgevingen gebruikt, zoals node.js en Apache CouchDB. JS is een prototype-gebaseed, multi-paradigma, dynamische scripttaal, welke object-georienteerde, imperatieve, en functionele programmeerstijlen ondersteunt. Lees meer over JavaScript.
Deze sectie van de site is toegewijd aan de JavaScript taal zelf, en niet de delen die specifiek zijn voor Web paginas of andere omgevingen. Voor informatie over APIs die specifiek zijn voor Web paginas, kijk alsjeblieft op Web APIs en DOM.
The standard for JavaScript is ECMAScript. As of 2012, all modern browsers fully support ECMAScript 5.1. Older browsers support at least ECMAScript 3. On June 17, 2015, ECMA International published the sixth major version of ECMAScript, which is officially called ECMAScript 2015, and is more commonly referred to as ECMAScript 6 or ES6. The documentation presented covers ECMAScript 2015 and some of the announced features in the next version of ECMAScript (ES2016).
