- Not to be confused with JavaScript.
JScript is Microsoft's legacy dialect of the ECMAScript standard that is used in Internet Explorer 11 and older.[1]
History[]
First supported in Internet Explorer 3 in August 1996, its most recent version is JScript 9.0, included with Internet Explorer 9. Microsoft transitioned to the Chakra open source JScript and JavaScript engines for improved performance in the latter versions of Explorer to early versions of Microsoft Edge (now called Edge Legacy). In 2018, Edge switched to the V8 JavaScript engine from Google's Chromium browser platform.[2]
