ChakraCore

ChakraCore is the JavaScript and WebAssembly engine that powers Microsoft Edge. It is a high-performance, standards-compliant JavaScript engine designed for speed and efficiency. ChakraCore is open-source and available on GitHub, allowing developers to contribute to its development and use it in their own applications. It supports modern JavaScript features, including ECMAScript 2015 and later. The engine is optimized for both speed and memory usage, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, from web browsing to server-side JavaScript. Microsoft initially developed Chakra for Internet Explorer and later for Edge. ChakraCore represents a decoupled version of the engine, making it more versatile. It has been used in various Microsoft products and services. The project aims to provide a robust and performant JavaScript runtime for modern web development and beyond. Developers can integrate ChakraCore into their C++ applications to enable JavaScript scripting. Its modular design facilitates extensibility and customization. The community actively contributes to improving its performance, security, and feature set.
