JavaScript enables the creation of interactive and dynamic content on websites. It is an essential language for both frontend and backend development and is supported by various frameworks.
Use this profile to understand the building block briefly, place it in the model, and switch to the 360° assessment when needed.
Technical building block: can be automated, integrated, or operated.
Concrete cog in the system that works inside larger relationships.
JavaScript is a dynamic programming language that executes behavior in browsers and on servers.
JavaScript began at Netscape in 1995, where Brendan Eich created the first browser version. Netscape's agreement with Sun and subsequent ECMA standardization established ECMAScript as a shared language foundation.
A JavaScript engine parses source, produces executable code, and works in an event-driven way. Objects, functions, promises, and APIs access browser or server environments; the event loop coordinates asynchronous work.
It translates and executes JavaScript code.
It coordinates resumption and execution of asynchronous work.
Environments expose functions for DOM, network, or server access.
JavaScript powers interactive web interfaces and many backend systems. Runtime boundaries, package dependencies, asynchrony, and the security model shape design.
