This version is

• Microsoft Visual C++ compatible/compileable
• Is used in Sciter.JS
• It contains extras:
  • JSX - built-in facebook::JSX support with Sciter specific extras.
  • Built-in Persistence - you can think of it as local MongoDB (NoSQL) DB embedded into the language. Pretty small, adds just 70kb into binary.

The main documentation is in doc/quickjs.pdf or doc/quickjs.html.

Prerequisite: premake5 - download and install it.

Then go to /win folder and run premake-vs2017.bat or premake-vs2019.bat .

It will generate .build/vs2017/quickjs-msvc.sln and open it in Microsoft Visual Studio.

Press F5 to compile it and run qjs - interactive JS command line application.

Supported premake options:

• --jsx - include JSX support;
• --storage - include Persistent Storage support;

Supported targets (these are built into Premake itself):

• vs2017 - MS Visual Studio 2017
• vs2019 - MS Visual Studio 2019
• gmake2 - gmake files
• etc...

Few examples of other possible configurations:

premake5 vs2019 --jsx --storage
premake5 codeblocks --cc=gcc --jsx --storage
premake5 gmake2 --cc=gcc --jsx --storage
premake5 gmake2 --cc=clang --jsx --storage
premake5 gmake2 --cc=clang --jsx --storage
premake5 xcode4 --jsx --storage
