The V8 library provides Node.js with a JavaScript engine (a program that converts Javascript code into lower level or machine code that microprocessors can understand), which Node.js controls via the V8 C++ API. V8 is maintained by Google, for use in Chrome.
The Chrome V8 engine :
- The V8 engine is written in C++ and used in Chrome and Nodejs.
