JavaScript

JavaScript was created by Brendan Eich at Netscape Communications in May 1995 in just ten days to make web pages interactive. Initially codenamed Mocha and then renamed to LiveScript in September 1995, it was officially released as JavaScript in December 1995 to capitalize on the popularity of Java

JavaScript is the scripting language of the web. It provides rich interactivity and dynamic content for web applications. With it, you can build user experiences that can help users accomplish complex tasks, store user data, and more.

JavaScript and web browsers have a symbiotic relationship where the browser acts as the host environment and JavaScript serves as the programming language that makes web pages dynamic. Browsers provide a JavaScript engine (such as V8 in Chrome or SpiderMonkey in Firefox) to parse, compile, and execute JavaScript code directly on the user's device.
