JavaScript
JavaScript is a lightweight, interpreted, or just-in-time compiled programming language with first-class functions. It is a multi-paradigm, dynamic language supporting object-oriented, imperative, and declarative programming styles. The JavaScript Web APIs are a collection of browser-provided interfaces that enable web applications to interact with the browser, the operating system, and remote services. They include the Fetch API, Web Storage, WebSockets, Canvas API, Web Audio API, Geolocation, Notifications, IndexedDB, and many more standardized interfaces maintained by the WHATWG and the W3C.
