ngx_http_js_module | nginx javascript module | Runtime Evironment library

ngx_http_js_module is a C library typically used in Server, Runtime Evironment, Nginx applications. ngx_http_js_module has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

This module main goal is to make nginx as scriptable as it could to be. Every scripting language known to me has its own standard library. This is a very good opportunity for a programmer that uses a language to write standard (i.e. multithreaded, synchronous, apache-based) web applications. But it is no good for the embedding into an async application like nginx. For example the [node.js][] developers have to re-implement almost all existing libraries from scratch (and they do so). If you don’t fully understand the difference between the applications based on sync and async principles please read about [asynchronous I/O][asynchronous] first. And SpiderMonkey doesn’t have any library. And nobody expect to have it in this language. More of that, the browser interface is also async and event-based. So we can relax and just script nginx instead of making another Web 2.0 framework. In other words the nxg_http_js_module tries to reflect the nginx functionality in JS. You can touch the ground running if you have ever seen [ngx_http_perl_module][] or [mod_perl][] before. [node.js]: [asynchronous]: [ngx_http_perl_module]: [mod_perl]: This module tries to mimic the perl modules in most cases.
