JavaScript is a cross-platform, object-oriented scripting language. It is a small and lightweight language. Inside a host environment like a web browser.
JavaScript contains a standard library of objects like other languages, such as Array, Date, Math and a core set of language elements such as operators, control structures, and statements. Core JavaScript can be extended for a variety of purposes by supplementing it with additional objects.
