Most web browsers have a dedicated JavaScript engine or JavaScript virtual machine to execute the code. Different engines have different names For example: V8 – in Chrome and Opera. SpiderMonkey – in Firefox. How it Works? The engine (embedded if it’s a browser) reads (“parses”) the script. Then it converts (“compiles”) the script to the machine language. And then the machine code runs, pretty fast.
