'''KJS''' is KDE's [[ECMAScript]]-[[JavaScript engine]] that was originally developed for the [[KDE]] project's [[Konqueror]] web browser by [[Harri Porten]] in 2000.

On June 13, 2002, [[Maciej Stachowiak]] announced on a mailing list that [[Apple Inc.|Apple]] was releasing [[WebKit#JavaScriptCore|JavaScriptCore]], a framework for [[Mac OS X]] that was based on KJS.<ref name="JS-Core_Apple">{{cite web|url=http://www.opendarwin.org/pipermail/kde-darwin/2002-June/000034.html |title=[KDE-Darwin] JavaScriptCore, Apple's JavaScript framework based on KJS |last=Stachowiak |first=Maciej |date=2002-06-13 |publisher=opendarwin.org |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070310215550/http://www.opendarwin.org/pipermail/kde-darwin/2002-June/000034.html |archive-date=2007-03-10 |url-status=dead |access-date=2015-05-13 }}</ref> Through the [[WebKit]] project, JavaScriptCore has since evolved into SquirrelFish Extreme, a JavaScript engine that compiles JavaScript into native [[machine code]].
