Go bindings to QuickJS: a fast, small, and embeddable ES2020 JavaScript interpreter.
These bindings are a WIP and do not match full parity with QuickJS' API, though expose just enough features to be usable. The version of QuickJS that these bindings bind to may be located here.
These bindings have been tested to cross-compile and run successfully on Linux, Windows, and Mac using gcc-7 and mingw32 without any addtional compiler or linker flags.
$ go get github.com/lithdew/quickjs
- Free
quickjs.Runtimeandquickjs.Contextonce you are done using them. - Free
quickjs.Value's returned byEval()andEvalFile(). All other values do not need to be freed, as they get garbage-collected. - You may access the stacktrace of an error returned by
Eval()orEvalFile()by casting it to a*quickjs.Error. - Make new copies of arguments should you want to return them in functions you created.
- Make sure to call
runtime.LockOSThread()to ensure that QuickJS always operates in the exact same thread.
The full example code below may be found by clicking here. Find more API examples here.
