I found out from the Internet that Google Chrome uses V8 and Firefox uses SpyderMonkey to compile JavaScript to machine code. What JavaScript engine does Safari browser use then?

  • JavaScriptCore is the built-in JavaScript engine for WebKit.
  • JavaScriptCore is often referred with different names, such as ​SquirrelFish and ​SquirrelFish Extreme. Within the context of Safari, Nitro and Nitro Extreme are also commonly used. However, the name of the project and the library is always JavaScriptCore.
