Any ES5 implementations available?

# David Foley (16 years ago)

Hello list- now that the standard has accepted, are there any ES5 implementations either in development or complete?

For the ES5 implementation in SpiderMonkey, Firefox's JS engine (AKA
TraceMonkey), please see the tracking bug:

bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=es5

You can get nightly builds with the patches for all the RESOLVED FIXED
bugs on that meta-bug's dependency list here:

Rhino has a partial implementation of ES5 (mostly thanks to Raphael Speyer and Google Summer of Code).

See the tracking bug to see what is implemented (most of es5 with the notable exception of strict mode):

You can get a recent build with a partial implementation at:
