ECMAScript
ECMAScript is the standardized specification behind JavaScript. It defines the language syntax, features, and behavior that power modern web, server-side, and cross-platform applications across browsers and runtimes.
What is it?
ECMAScript is a scripting language standard maintained by ECMA International. It serves as the official specification that defines how JavaScript and related implementations should behave.
What does it do?
ECMAScript standardizes language features such as variables, functions, modules, asynchronous operations, and object handling. It ensures consistent behavior across browsers, runtimes, and platforms.
Where is it used?
ECMAScript is used wherever JavaScript runs: web browsers, Node.js servers, desktop applications, mobile apps, embedded systems, and cross-platform frameworks.
When & why it emerged
ECMAScript was first standardized in 1997 to unify JavaScript implementations across browsers. It evolved rapidly—especially after ES6 (2015)—to support modern application development needs.
Why we use it at Internative
We follow modern ECMAScript standards to ensure clean, maintainable, and future-proof code. Leveraging up-to-date language features allows us to build scalable applications across frontend and backend systems.
