Duktape
Introduction
Duktape is an embeddable Javascript engine, with a focus on portability and compact footprint.
Duktape is easy to integrate into a C/C++ project: add duktape.c
and
duktape.h
to your build, and use the Duktape API to call Ecmascript
functions from C code and vice versa.
Main features:
- Embeddable, portable, compact
- Ecmascript E5/E5.1 compliant
- Built-in regular expression engine
- Built-in Unicode support
- Minimal platform dependencies
- Combined reference counting and mark-and-sweep garbage collection with finalization
- Liberal license
See duktape.org for packaged end-user downloads and documentation.
Have fun!
About this repository
This repository is intended for Duktape developers only, and contains Duktape internals: test cases, internal documentation, sources for the duktape.org web site, etc.
Getting started: end user
When embedding Duktape in your application you should use the packaged source distributables available from duktape.org/download.html.
However, if you really want to use a bleeding edge version:
$ git clone https://github.com/svaarala/duktape.git
$ cd duktape
$ make dist-src
Then use duktape-<version>.tar.xz
like a normal source distributable.
Getting started: developing Duktape
If you intend to change Duktape internals, run test cases, etc:
# Install NodeJS and npm
$ sudo apt-get install nodejs npm
# Compile the command line tool ('duk')
$ git clone https://github.com/svaarala/duktape.git
$ cd duktape
$ make
# Run Ecmascript and API testcases
$ make test
$ make apitest
$ make regfuzztest
Note: the repo Makefile is intended for Linux developer use, it is not a multi-platform "end user" Makefile. In particular, the Makefile is not intended to work on e.g. OSX or Windows. The source distributable has more user-friendly Makefile examples, but you should normally simply write your own Makefile when integrating Duktape into your program.
