About:
Duktape is a lightweight, embeddable JavaScript engine designed for C/C++ applications with a very small footprint.

Small footprint and low memory usage
No external dependencies
ES5 compliant with partial ES6 support
Simple C API for embedding

Use Cases:

QuickJS – More modern ES2020 support but slightly larger footprint
Lua – Similar lightweight profile but uses a different scripting language
