V8 Javascript Engine
V8 is an open-source JavaScript engine developed by Google. It is written in C++ and is used in Google Chrome, the Chromium web browser, and Node.js, among other applications.
V8 is designed to execute JavaScript code quickly and efficiently. It includes features such as just-in-time (JIT) compilation, hidden class optimization, and garbage collection, which help to improve the performance of JavaScript applications.
V8 is widely used in developing web-based applications, as it allows developers to write client-side code in JavaScript that can be executed by the browser. Other platforms, such as Node.js, have adopted it, which uses V8 to enable developers to write server-side applications in JavaScript.
