JavaScript

JavaScript is a scripting language introduced by the Netscape Corporation in 1996. It is by now the standard scripting language for the Web.

History
The language was developed by Brandon Eich under the name Mocha, and was later officially called LiveScript.

The name changed JavaScript for Navigator 2.0. Sun (owners of the Java trademark) gave permission to use.
