The following page enumerates distinctive features of the Jx9 Scripting Engine and the Jx9 Programming Language.

Feature of the jx9 Scripting Engine.

• Easy to bind C/C++ foreign functions as well foreign constants.
  

• Modern, clean and easy to use C/C++ API.
  

• Thread safe and full reentrant.

• Highly efficient and platform independent Bytecode compiler.

• Built-in HTTP Request Parser.

• Efficient implementation of JSON arrays and objects using the hashmap data strcuture.

• No fatal error, even a call to an undefined function will not abort Jx9 script execution.

• Very high code quality.

• Amalgamation: All C source code for Jx9 are combined into a single source file.

• Jx9 is 100% hand-coded (No Lex, flex, YACC, Lemon, etc.), written in ANSI C, compile and run unmodified in any platform including restricted embedded devices with a C compiler.

• Garbage Collected via Advanced Reference Counting.

• Tiny memory footprint.
• Clean and well documented project.
• Highly available online support.
• Jx9 is an Open Source project.
  

Feature of the jx9 Programming Language.

• Turing complete programming language based on JSON.
• Clean and familiar syntax similar to C, JavaScript and JSON.
• Dynamically typed programming language.
• Native support for Anonymous functions.
• Function overloading like C++.
• Full type hinting.
• Default values for function parameters.
  

• 64-bit integer arithmetic for all platforms.

• Native UTF-8 support.

• Built with over 50 operators.
• Comma expressions.
• Support for static variables and constants.
• Rich standard library built with over 303 functions and 139 constants.
• Built-in sorting functions such as sort(), usort() and so forth uses the stable and efficient merge-sort algorithm.
• and many more, refer to the Jx9 Programming Language Reference Manual for additional information.
