JavaScript Leaders Demand Oracle Release the JavaScript Trademark
In an open letter, JavaScript community leaders urge Oracle to give up the JavaScript trademark, arguing that it has been effectively abandoned through nonuse.
@edge-runtime/vm
Advanced tools
@edge-runtime/vm is a Node.js package that provides a runtime environment for executing JavaScript code in a secure and isolated context. It is particularly useful for edge computing scenarios where you need to run code close to the data source with minimal latency.
Execute JavaScript Code
This feature allows you to execute arbitrary JavaScript code within a secure and isolated virtual machine context.
const { EdgeVM } = require('@edge-runtime/vm');
const vm = new EdgeVM();
const result = vm.run('2 + 2');
console.log(result); // 4
Sandboxed Environment
You can create a sandboxed environment with predefined global variables, ensuring that the executed code does not have access to the outer scope.
const { EdgeVM } = require('@edge-runtime/vm');
const vm = new EdgeVM({ sandbox: { foo: 'bar' } });
const result = vm.run('foo');
console.log(result); // 'bar'
Timeouts and Resource Limits
This feature allows you to set execution timeouts and resource limits to prevent infinite loops and excessive resource consumption.
const { EdgeVM } = require('@edge-runtime/vm');
const vm = new EdgeVM({ timeout: 1000 });
try {
vm.run('while(true) {}');
} catch (e) {
console.log(e.message); // 'Script execution timed out.'
}
vm2 is a popular Node.js package that provides a sandboxed environment for executing JavaScript code. It offers similar functionalities to @edge-runtime/vm, such as running code in an isolated context and setting resource limits. However, vm2 is more mature and widely used in the community.
isolated-vm is another Node.js package designed for running JavaScript code in isolation. It provides a high level of security and performance, making it suitable for scenarios where you need to run untrusted code. Compared to @edge-runtime/vm, isolated-vm offers more advanced features like shared memory and asynchronous execution.
