Escargot

License GitHub release (latestSemVer) Actions Status Coverity Scan Build Status codecov

Escargot is a lightweight JavaScript engine developed by Samsung, designed specifically for resource-constrained environments. It is optimized for performance and low memory usage, making it ideal for use in embedded systems, IoT devices, and other applications where resources are limited.

Key features of Escargot include:

  • ECMAScript Compliance: Escargot supports a significant portion of the latest ECMAScript version (ECMAScript 2024), ensuring compatibility with modern JavaScript standards while maintaining a lightweight footprint.
  • Memory Efficiency: The engine is designed with memory constraints in mind, making it suitable for devices with limited RAM and storage.
  • Performance Optimization: Escargot implements various optimization techniques to ensure fast execution of JavaScript code, even on low-power devices.
  • Extensibility: The engine can be customized and extended to meet the specific needs of different applications, providing flexibility for developers.

Escargot is an open-source project that allows developers to contribute to its development or use it in their own projects, while also powering several services in Samsung products. The engine's design prioritizes simplicity and efficiency, making it an excellent choice for developers working in embedded or resource-limited environments.

cmake -DESCARGOT_MODE=release -DESCARGOT_OUTPUT=shell -GNinja
ninja

macOS

General build prerequisites:

brew install autoconf automake cmake icu4c libtool ninja pkg-config

# add icu path to pkg_config_path (x64)
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/opt/icu4c/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH"
# add icu path to pkg_config_path (arm64)
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/icu4c/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH"

Build Escargot:
