About:
SpiderMonkey is Mozilla's JavaScript and WebAssembly engine, written in C++. It provides a high-performance runtime for executing JavaScript code, powering applications like the Firefox browser. Its main value proposition is offering a robust, standards-compliant engine for embedding scripting capabilities into C++ applications.
Key Features:
  • Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation for high performance
  • Support for modern JavaScript and WebAssembly standards
  • Embeddable API for integration into C++ applications
  • Incremental garbage collection
Use Cases:
  • Embedding a scripting language into C++ applications
  • Building browser engines or JavaScript runtimes
  • Developing high-performance applications requiring scripting
Alternatives:
  • V8 – Google's engine used in Chrome/Node.js; similar performance but different API and embedding model.
