RingoJS: JavaScript Runtime Engine & Web App Framework

Build scalable server-side JavaScript applications with RingoJS, a runtime engine and web application framework providing common APIs and tools for building web apps and services using JavaScript on the server.

What is RingoJS?

RingoJS is an open-source JavaScript runtime environment and web application framework that allows developers to build server-side JavaScript applications. It leverages JavaScript's event-driven, non-blocking I/O model to enable high scalability and performance.

Some key features of RingoJS include:

  • Full compatibility with the ECMAScript 5 standard
  • An API for accessing databases, file systems, caching, networking, etc.
  • Support for CommonJS modules
  • Integrated web server based on Servlets
  • Templating and view rendering system
  • Session management and authentication framework
  • Tools for unit testing and documentation

By running JavaScript code on the server, RingoJS allows developers to use a single language stack for both front-end and back-end development. This can help improve developer productivity. The non-blocking I/O allows RingoJS applications to handle thousands of concurrent requests with a relatively small memory footprint.

Some common use cases for RingoJS include building REST APIs and web services, real-time web applications, networking tools, web scraping and automation tasks, CLI utilities, and more.

Overall, RingoJS makes it simple for JavaScript developers to start building server-side apps and provides a scalable runtime for production web apps.
