JavaScript is an
implementation of the
ECMAScript language standard and is typically used to enable
programmatic access to computational objects within a host environment. It can be characterized as a
prototype-based object-oriented[6] scripting language that is
dynamic,
weakly typed and has
first-class functions. It is also considered a
functional programming language
[1] like
Scheme and
OCaml because it has
closures and supports
higher-order functions.

JavaScript is primarily used in the form of
client-side JavaScript, implemented as part of a
web browser in order to provide enhanced
user interfaces and dynamic
websites. However, its use in
applications outside web pages for example in
PDF-documents,
site-specific browsers and
desktop widgets is also significant.

JavaScript uses syntax influenced by that of
C. JavaScript copies many names and naming conventions from
Java, but the two languages are otherwise unrelated and have very different semantics. The key design principles within JavaScript are taken from the
Self and
Scheme programming languages.
