## What JavaScript implementations are available?

The Mozilla project provides two JavaScript implementations. The first **ever** JavaScript was created by Brendan Eich at Netscape, and has since been updated to conform to ECMA-262 Edition 5 and later versions. This engine, code named [SpiderMonkey](/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/SpiderMonkey), is implemented in C/C++. The [Rhino](/en-US/docs/Rhino) engine, created primarily by Norris Boyd (also at Netscape) is a JavaScript implementation written in Java. Like SpiderMonkey, Rhino is ECMA-262 Edition 5 compliant.

Several major runtime optimizations such as TraceMonkey (Firefox 3.5), JägerMonkey (Firefox 4) and IonMonkey were added to the SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine over time. Work is always ongoing to improve JavaScript execution performance.

Each of Mozilla's JavaScript engines expose a public API which application developers can use to integrate JavaScript into their software. By far, the most common host environment for JavaScript is web browsers. Web browsers typically use the public API to create **host objects** responsible for reflecting the [DOM](https://www.w3.org/DOM/) into JavaScript.

Another common application for JavaScript is as a (Web) server side scripting language. A JavaScript web server would expose host objects representing a HTTP request and response objects, which could then be manipulated by a JavaScript program to dynamically generate web pages. [Node.js](http://nodejs.org) is a popular example of this.
