 Welcome to the web page for the NJS JavaScript Interpreter. NJS is an independent implementation of the JavaScript language developed by Netscape and standardized by ECMA. It is designed to be re-entrant, extendible, fast, and programmable.

NJS used to be called the NGS JavaScript Interpreter, but New Generation Software, the Finnish company who created it, is no longer developing the interpreter. However, due to their choice of license (the GNU LGPL), development has continued. Also, the name NJS was chosen as the old name clashed with both the Linux joystick calibration utility (called obviously enough, js) and the Mozilla shared library of their JavaScript engine.

Getting the NJS JavaScript Interpreter

Released versions of NJS can be downloaded from the NJS download page.

The current development sources are available via Subversion. Information on how to fetch them are on our Subversion page.

Unfortunately, SourceForge isn't all it's cracked up to be. We've moved CVS a little closer to home (or work, as the case may be) for a greater amount of control.
