Coding in JavaScript

You may have noticed, that all tasks end with .js. This is because all tasks are written in plain old, easy & fast JavaScript.

Vanadin uses the QuickJS Engine under the hood to execute fast and tiny JavaScript code with a tiny runtime and small footprint.

The engine supports most of the ES2023 specification. Due to most tasks not requiring advanced features, Vanadin only supports most basic JavaScript with BaseObject support.

It should also be kept in mind, that scripts are executed in non-global scope and are not strict by default.
