Java script is one of the most commonly used scripting
languages in the world. It is used in the client side to add behavior to
HTML(Hyper Text Markup Language) Websites . It falls under the category of High
Level programming languages that are interpreted. Java Script which is
abbreviated as JS is dynamic, weakly typed and also prototype based. In world
wide web (WWW) content engineering, along with Hyper Text Markup Language
(HTML) and Cascading Style Sheets(CSS) , JS is considered of higher importance
. JS supports event driven , functional programming style.
JS since its inception has played a vital role in dynamic
web content production.It supports in making highly responsive interfaces that
support to improve user experience . Information that needs to be updated
frequently can be edited without hassle with the use of JS for example , in a
website that shows cricket match scores or election vote results.
This scripting language has gone through many versions of
standardization. In November 1996, Netscape submitted JavaScript to Ecma
International to carve out a standard specification for JS so that every web
designer could follow the same standards when scripting . Then the "ECMA Script" often abbreviated as
"ES" was born.
So far nearly 9 releases have been made and the latest being
ECMAScript 8 which was released back in June 2017.Every year, some changes were introduced to how the standards are to be followed when using Java Script .
