quv — QuickJS ❤️ libuv
This is an experiment in using libuv as the platform layer for QuickJS.
Currently the following is already implemented in the quv (formerly qjs) interpreter, using libuv:
- TCP and UDP sockets
- TTY handles
- Unix sockets / named pipes
- Timers
- Signals
- File operations
- Event loop
- High-resolution time
- Miscellaneous utility functions
- Worker threads
- Child processes
- DNS (getaddrinfo)
Other extras:
- TextEncoder / TextDecoder APIs
- URL polyfill
- Import directly from HTTP(S) URLs
See the full API.
