Features

• In-Process Runtimes - Runs .NET and Node.js environments within a single operating system process to eliminate cross-process communication overhead.
• Asynchronous Callbacks - Provides non-blocking data exchange using asynchronous callbacks for bidirectional communication between .NET and JavaScript runtimes.
• Native Data Marshallers - Implements automatic marshalling of binary buffers and serializable values between different managed object types across runtimes.
• In-Process Scripting Hosts - Embeds a compiler and execution environment to run dynamic scripts or source files inside a running application.
• Scripting Hosts - Provides a host for compiling and running source files or inline scripts from multiple languages within a running application.
• Bidirectional Function Proxies - Enables passing functions or delegates between runtimes to allow asynchronous callbacks across execution environments.
• Cross-Language Data Exchange - Facilitates the bidirectional movement of objects and functions between a host language and a guest script runtime.
• JavaScript Interop - Integrates JavaScript functions and .NET code within a single process to share data and logic without network latency.
• JavaScript Function Invocations - Allows the asynchronous invocation of specific JavaScript functions from within a .NET environment.
• JavaScript-.NET Runtime Interop - Provides a system for executing .NET and JavaScript code within a single process to eliminate cross-process communication overhead.
• Language Runtime Bridges - Bridges different managed object types to marshal binary buffers and serializable values across operating systems.
• Multi-Language Script Execution - Executes multiple scripting languages within a single application using a common compiler model.
• Polyglot Execution Environments - Runs multiple programming languages in one application process to leverage specific library strengths across different runtime environments.
• Cross-Runtime Execution Engines - Enables bidirectional asynchronous callbacks and data exchange between the CLR and JavaScript runtimes.
• In-Memory Compilers - Compiles source files or inline scripts directly within the process memory for immediate execution.
• Script Proxies - Compiles scripts from target languages into delegates and exposes them as proxies for seamless execution.
• Standardized Assembly Interfaces - Uses a standardized assembly model to integrate multiple scripting languages into a single execution environment.
• Blocking Task Offloaders - Moves heavy computational work from a main event loop to separate threads to maintain application responsiveness.
• Thread Pool Offloading - Offloads CPU-intensive tasks to background threads to prevent blocking the main runtime event loop.
• Runtime Code Compilation - Compiles source scripts into delegates at runtime to execute managed code within the current process.
• Cross-Runtime Exception Translation - Translates native exceptions into standard error objects to maintain consistent error handling across execution environments.
• Integration Middleware - Integrates external web applications into a web framework by acting as middleware or request handlers.
• Cross-Platform Runtimes - Enables the execution of compiled assemblies and language-specific code across multiple operating systems.
• JavaScript Engines - Run .NET and Node.js code in-process across multiple platforms.
