** '''JavaScript''', often abbreviated as '''JS''', is a [[programming language]] that is one of the core technologies of the [[World Wide Web]], alongside [[HTML]] and [[CSS]]. As of 2022, 98% of [[Website|websites]] use JavaScript on the [[Client (computing)|client]] side for [[Web page|webpage]] behavior, often incorporating third-party [[Library (computing)|libraries]]. All major [[Web browser|web browser]]s have a dedicated [[JavaScript engine]] to execute the [[Source code|code]] on [[User (computing)|users]]' devices. JavaScript is a [[High-level programming language|high-level]], often [[Just-in-time compilation|just-in-time compiled]] language that conforms to the [[ECMAScript]] standard.  It has [[dynamic typing]], [[Prototype-based programming|prototype-based]] [[object-oriented programming|object-orientation]], and [[first-class function]]s. It is [[Programming paradigm|multi-paradigm]], supporting [[Event-driven programming|event-driven]], [[functional programming|functional]], and [[imperative programming|imperative]] [[programming paradigm|programming style]]s. It has [[application programming interface]]s (APIs) for working with text, dates, [[regular expression]]s, standard [[data structure]]s, and the [[Document Object Model]] (DOM). <P> The ECMAScript standard does not include any [[input/output]] (I/O), such as [[computer network|networking]], [[data storage|storage]], or [[computer graphics|graphics]] facilities.

The most popular runtime system for this usage is [[Node.js]]. <P> Although [[Java (programming language)|Java]] and JavaScript are similar in name, [[Syntax (programming languages)|syntax]], and respective [[Standard library|standard libraries]], the two languages are distinct and differ greatly in design.
