 Description: Pure-Perl ECMAScript (JavaScript) Engine
- JE, short for JavaScript::Engine (imaginative, isn't it?), is a pure-Perl
- JavaScript engine. Here are some of its strengths:
+ JE is a pure-Perl ECMAScript (JavaScript) engine.
  .
- This description was automagically extracted from the module by dh-make-perl.
+ Advantages:
+  - Compatible with Data::Dump::Streamer, so the runtime environment can be
+    serialised
+  - The parser can be extended/customised to support extra (or fewer) language
+    features (not yet complete)
+  - All JavaScript datatypes can be manipulated directly from Perl (they all
+    have overloaded operators)
+ .
+ Weaknesses:
+  - It's slow
+  - It uses lots of memory.
+  - It leaks memory (to be fixed).
+ .
+ This is still an alpha release, but it fully implements ECMAScript v3, except
+ for a few seldom-used features like -0.
