It is best known as a JavaScript standard intended to ensure the [[interoperability]] of [[web page]]s across different [[web browser]]s.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Wirfs-Brock |first1=Allen |last2=Eich |first2=Brendan |date=2020-05-02 |year=2020 |title=JavaScript: The First 20 Years |journal=Proceedings of the ACM on Programming Languages |volume=4 |pages=1–189 |doi=10.1145/3386327 |doi-access=free |s2cid=219603695}}</ref> It is standardized by [[Ecma International]] in the document [https://www.ecma-international.org/publications-and-standards/standards/ecma-262/ ECMA-262].

== ECMAScript, ECMA-262, JavaScript ==
'''ECMA-262''', or the ''ECMAScript Language Specification'', defines the ''ECMAScript Language'', or just '''ECMAScript'''.<ref>{{cite web |last=Guo |first=Shu-yu |date=2022-02-14 |title=ECMAScriptÂŽ 2022 Language Specification |url=https://tc39.es/ecma262/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200508053013/https://tc39.es/ecma262/ |archive-date=2020-05-08 |website=tc39.es |accessdate=2022-02-14}}</ref> ECMA-262 specifies only language syntax and the semantics of the core application programming interface ([[API]]), such as {{mono|Array}}, {{mono|Function}}, and {{mono|globalThis}}, while valid implementations of JavaScript add their own functionality such as [[input/output]] and [[File manager|file system]] handling.

== History==
The ECMAScript specification is a standardized specification of a scripting language developed by [[Brendan Eich]] of [[Netscape Communications Corporation|Netscape]]; initially named Mocha, then LiveScript, and finally JavaScript.<ref>{{cite web |last=Krill |first=Paul |date=2008-06-23 |title=JavaScript creator ponders past, future |url=http://www.infoworld.com/article/2653798/application-development/javascript-creator-ponders-past--future.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140920141040/http://www.infoworld.com/article/2653798/application-development/javascript-creator-ponders-past--future.html |archive-date=2014-09-20 |access-date=2013-10-31 |website=infoworld.com |publisher=InfoWorld}}</ref> In December 1995, [[Sun Microsystems]] and Netscape announced JavaScript in a press release.<ref>{{cite web |date=1995-12-04 |title=Netscape and Sun announce JavaScript, the Open, Cross-platform Object Scripting Language for Enterprise Networks and the Internet |url=http://wp.netscape.com/newsref/pr/newsrelease67.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020606002913/http://wp.netscape.com/newsref/pr/newsrelease67.html |archive-date=2002-06-06 |access-date=2019-11-04 |website=Netscape.com |publisher=Netscape}}</ref> In November 1996, Netscape announced a meeting of the [[Ecma International]] standards organization to advance the standardization of JavaScript.<ref>{{cite web |last=Press Release |date=November 15, 1996 |title=Industry Leaders to Advance Standardization of Netscape's JavaScript at Standards Body Meeting |url=http://cgi.netscape.com/newsref/pr/newsrelease289.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19981203070212/http://cgi.netscape.com/newsref/pr/newsrelease289.html |archive-date=1998-12-03 |access-date=2013-10-31 |website=Netscape.com |publisher=Netscape}}</ref> <!-- Should add that Jscript is also from EMCAScript -->The first edition of ECMA-262 was adopted by the Ecma General Assembly in June 1997. Several editions of the language standard have been published since then. The name "ECMAScript" was a compromise between the organizations involved in standardizing the language, especially Netscape and Microsoft, whose disputes dominated the early standards sessions. Eich commented that "ECMAScript was always an unwanted trade name that sounds like a [[eczema|skin disease]]."<ref>{{cite web |last=Eich |first=Brendan |date=2006-10-03 |title=Will there be a suggested file suffix for es4? |url=https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/es-discuss/2006-October/000133.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200621202321/https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/es-discuss/2006-October/000133.html |archive-date=2020-06-21 |access-date=2021-05-05 |website=mozilla.org |publisher=Mail.mozilla.org}}</ref> ECMAScript has been formalized through operational semantics by work at [[Stanford University]] and the [[Department of Computing, Imperial College London|Department of Computing]], [[Imperial College London]] for security analysis and standardization.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Maffeis |first1=Sergio |last2=Mitchell |first2=John C. |last3=Taly |first3=Ankur |date=2020-01-03 |title=An Operational Semantics for JavaScript |url=http://theory.stanford.edu/people/jcm/papers/aplas08-camera-ready.pdf |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200103204704/http://theory.stanford.edu/people/jcm/papers/aplas08-camera-ready.pdf |archive-date=2020-01-03 |access-date=2020-01-03 |website=stanford.edu |publisher=[[Association for Computing Machinery]]}}</ref>

== Features ==
{{expand section|date=February 2017}}
{{main|ECMAScript syntax|JavaScript#Features}}
The ECMAScript language includes [[structured programming|structured]], [[dynamic programming language|dynamic]], [[functional programming|functional]], and [[prototype-based programming|prototype-based]] features.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ecmascript.org/about.php |title=About |publisher=ECMAScript |access-date=2009-12-17 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120802115457/http://www.ecmascript.org/about.php |archive-date=2012-08-02 }}</ref>

=== Imperative and structured ===
ECMAScript JavaScript<!-- How to make clearer? --> supports [[C (programming language)|C]]-style structured programming. Previously, JavaScript only supported [[Scope (computer science)|function scoping]] using the keyword <code>var</code>, but ECMAScript 2015 added the keywords <code>let</code> and <code>const</code>, allowing JavaScript to support both block scoping and function scoping. JavaScript supports [[automatic semicolon insertion]], meaning that semicolons that normally terminate a statement in C may be omitted in JavaScript.<!-- Might imply EMCAScript doesn't support automatic semicolon insertion --><ref name="Flanagan2006">{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=2weL0iAfrEMC|title=JavaScript: The Definitive Guide: The Definitive Guide|author=David Flanagan|date=17 August 2006|publisher="O'Reilly Media, Inc."|isbn=978-0-596-55447-7|page=16|access-date=11 November 2019|archive-date=1 August 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200801065235/https://books.google.com/books?id=2weL0iAfrEMC|url-status=live}}</ref>

Like C-style languages, [[control flow]] is done with the {{Code|code=while}}, {{Code|code=for}}, {{Code|code=do}} / {{Code|code=while}}, {{Code|code=if}} / {{Code|code=else}}, and {{Code|code=switch}} statements.<!-- missing Labels / Functions --> Functions are weakly typed and may accept and return any type. Arguments not provided default to {{Code|code=undefined}}.

=== Weakly typed ===
ECMAScript is [[weakly typed]]. This means that certain types are assigned implicitly based on the operation being performed. However, there are several quirks in JavaScript's implementation of the conversion of a variable from one type to another. These quirks have been the subject of a <!-- humorous --> talk entitled ''Wat''.<ref>{{cite conference |last1=Bernhardt |first1=Gary |title=Wat |url=https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/wat |website=Destroy All Software |conference=CodeMash 2012 |access-date=2021-08-18 |archive-date=2019-10-28 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191028204723/https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/wat |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |last1=Gilbertson |first1=Scott |title=Jokes for Nerds: Wat Moments in Programming |url=https://www.wired.com/2012/01/jokes-for-nerds-wat-moments-in-programming/ |access-date=22 August 2021 |magazine=Wired |date=26 January 2012 |archive-date=23 August 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200823123837/https://www.wired.com/2012/01/jokes-for-nerds-wat-moments-in-programming/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

=== Dynamic ===
ECMAScript is dynamically typed. Thus, a type is associated with a value rather than an expression. ECMAScript supports various ways to test the type of objects, including [[duck typing]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures|title=JavaScript data types and data structures – JavaScript {{pipe}} MDN|date=2017-02-16|website=Developer.mozilla.org|access-date=2017-02-24|archive-date=2017-03-14|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170314230542/https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures|url-status=live}}</ref>

=== Transpiling ===
{{Main|JavaScript#transpilers}}
Since ES 2015, transpiling JavaScript has become very common. Transpilation is a [[source-to-source compilation]] in which newer versions of JavaScript are used, and a transpiler rewrites the source code so that it is supported by older browsers. Usually, transpilers transpile down to ES3 to maintain compatibility with all versions of browsers. The settings to transpile to a specific version can be configured according to need. Transpiling adds an extra step to the build process and is sometimes done to avoid needing [[Polyfill (programming)|polyfills]]. Polyfills create new features for older environments that lack them.<!-- The polyfill article is much better --> Polyfills do this at runtime in the interpreter, such as the user's browser or on the server. Instead, transpiling rewrites the ECMA code itself during the build phase of development before it reaches the interpreter.

== Conformance ==
In 2010, Ecma International started developing a standards test for Ecma 262 ECMAScript.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://test262.ecmascript.org/ |title=ECMAScript Language – test262 |publisher=Test262.ecmascript.org |access-date=2013-10-31 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110514205704/http://test262.ecmascript.org/ |archive-date=2011-05-14 }}</ref>
Test262 is an ECMAScript conformance test suite that can be used to check how closely a JavaScript implementation follows the ECMAScript Specification. The test suite contains thousands of individual tests, each of which tests some specific requirement(s) of the ECMAScript specification. The development of Test262 is a project of the Ecma Technical Committee 39 (TC39). The testing framework and the individual tests are contributed to Ecma by member organizations of TC39.

Important contributions were made by Google ([[Sputnik (JavaScript conformance test)|Sputnik test suite]]) and Microsoft, who both contributed thousands of tests.
The Test262 test suite consisted of {{val|38014}} tests {{as of|2020|01|lc=y}}.<ref name="GitHub 2020">{{cite web | title=tc39/test262 | website=GitHub | date=January 24, 2020 | url=https://github.com/tc39/test262 | access-date=January 29, 2020 | archive-date=October 1, 2019 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191001032806/https://github.com/tc39/test262 | url-status=live }}</ref> ECMAScript specifications through ES7 are well-supported in major [[web browser]]s.
