About:
MuJS is a lightweight, embeddable JavaScript interpreter designed for integration into C applications. It implements the ECMAScript standard (ES5) and provides a simple API for executing JavaScript code and interacting with native C functions. Its primary value is offering a minimal footprint and straightforward integration for applications needing scripting capabilities.

Key Features:

Embeddable C library
ECMAScript 5 compliant
Simple C API
Minimal footprint

Use Cases:

Adding scripting support to C/C++ applications
Configuration file parsing
Extending native applications with user scripts

Alternatives:

QuickJS – QuickJS is a more modern, feature-rich interpreter (ES2020+) but has a larger codebase than MuJS.
Duktape – Duktape is another lightweight embeddable interpreter, very similar in scope and goals to MuJS.
