txiki.js is a lightweight and modern JavaScript runtime designed to provide a compact yet powerful alternative to larger runtimes like Node.js and Deno. It is built on top of QuickJS-ng as its JavaScript engine and uses libuv for asynchronous I/O and system-level operations, allowing it to support a wide range of platform capabilities. The runtime aims to implement modern ECMAScript standards while aligning with WinterCG specifications, making it suitable for both server-side and scripting use cases. txiki.js includes built-in support for web platform APIs such as fetch, WebSocket, and timers, bridging the gap between browser and server environments. It also offers low-level system features like TCP and UDP sockets, file system access, and process management, enabling developers to build full applications without external dependencies. The runtime can compile scripts into standalone executables, which simplifies distribution and deployment.
