JSC – WebKit
january 2012
jsc is a command-line utility that allows you to run JavaScript programs outside of the context of a web browser. It is primarily used as part of the test harness for validating the JavaScript portions of WebKit, but can also be used as a scripting tool.
jsc can be run in an interactive mode to test out JavaScript expressions, or it can be passed one or more files to run similar to invoking a Perl or Python script.
