System Requirements

Why Choose WelsonJS?

WelsonJS is an advanced JavaScript framework designed to operate in extreme conditions where conventional solutions may fail. Unlike traditional JavaScript frameworks, WelsonJS focuses on executing scripts in constrained environments, ensuring reliable performance even with minimal system resources.

Key Features

Use Cases

WelsonJS is tailored for developers who need a reliable, lightweight JavaScript framework in environments where traditional solutions are impractical. Whether working with legacy systems, embedded devices, or security-critical applications, WelsonJS ensures that JavaScript remains a viable and efficient option.

Structure

The structure of the WelsonJS framework can be extended based on whether it operates in a console (command prompt) environment, a GUI (with HTML/CSS) environment, or a service environment, with the `app.js` file at its core.

Specifications

Quick start

1. Write a file lib/sayhello.js

// lib/sayhello.js
function say() {
    console.log("hello");
}

exports.say = say;

exports.VERSIONINFO = "SayHello (sayhello.js) version 0.1";
exports.AUTHOR = "gnh1201@catswords.re.kr";
exports.global = global;
exports.require = global.require;

2. Write a file sayhello.js

// sayhello.js
var SayHello = require("lib/sayhello");

function main() {
    console.log("calling say()");
    SayHello.say();
    console.log("ended say()");
}

exports.main = main;

3. Execute script on the console

C:\Users\JohnDoe\Documents\GitHub\welsonjs> cscript app.js sayhello
calling say()
hello
ended say()
