About:
RingoJS is a server-side JavaScript runtime built on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). It implements the CommonJS standard, providing a robust environment for building scalable network applications. By leveraging Java libraries, it offers high performance and seamless interoperability with existing Java ecosystems.
Key Features:
  • JVM-based runtime for high performance
  • CommonJS module system compatibility
  • Seamless Java library interoperability
  • Built-in concurrency model with fibers
Use Cases:
  • Building scalable web applications and APIs
  • Scripting and automation tasks using JavaScript
  • Integrating JavaScript logic with existing Java infrastructure
Alternatives:
  • Node.js – Node uses V8 and an event-loop model, while Ringo runs on the JVM and uses a threading model with fibers.
  • Deno – Deno is a modern, security-focused runtime, whereas Ringo focuses specifically on CommonJS and Java integration.
