For example, I have a js code, and I while like to write a simple console program that read this code, execute it, and print back the result. Is this possible to do so? If yes, how can I start doing this? Thank you.

is there anything related to dom in this js code? – wong2 Oct 17 '11 at 16:01

Of course it's possible. It's called an interpreter. There's at least a dozen of them, likely more if you count non-mainstream ones. – Oct 17 '11 at 16:01

@RichardJ.RossIII Rhino is Java, isn't it? – Vala Oct 17 '11 at 16:03

@Thor84no Yea, I forgot about that. Even still, you could ship the Rhino jar with your C application and run the jar inside your application. – Richard J. Ross III Oct 17 '11 at 16:19

1Yes, you could. But running a JVM to run a JS engine to interpret a script... It's all getting a little messier than it needs to be at that point. – Vala Oct 17 '11 at 16:21

I see. Thank you all, I will do some researches on this direction. – DNB5brims Oct 18 '11 at 09:44

You'd need a JS engine for C such as SpiderMonkey (which is the one FireFox uses). I'm not sure how easy that is to use though, there may be others that are better.
