What is boa?
Boa is an embeddable JavaScript engine written in Rust that lexes, parses, and interprets JavaScript code. It solves the need for a high-performance, standards-compliant JavaScript runtime that can be integrated into Rust applications, supporting over 90% of the ECMAScript specification.
Rust developers looking to embed JavaScript execution in their applications, contributors interested in compiler and interpreter development, and those exploring alternative JavaScript engine implementations.
Developers choose Boa for its Rust-based safety and performance, strong ECMAScript conformance, and modular crate design, which allows for flexible embedding and experimentation compared to larger, more monolithic engines.
