the World Wide Web, alongside HTML and CSS. As of 2023, 98.7% of websites use JavaScript on the

JavaScript is a high-level, often just-in-time compiled language that conforms to the ECMAScript
standard It has dynamic typing, prototype-based object-orientation, and first-class functions. It is
multi-paradigm, supporting event-driven, functional, and imperative programming styles. It has
application programming interfaces (APIs) for working with text, dates, regular expressions, standard
data structures, and the Document Object Model (DOM).
The ECMAScript standard does not include any input/output (I/O), such as networking, storage, or
graphics facilities. In practice, the web browser or other runtime system provides JavaScript APIs for
I/O.
