#REDIRECT [[JavaScript#Server-side JavaScript]]
'''Server-side JavaScript''' ('''SSJS''') refers to [[JavaScript]] that runs on [[server-side]]. This term was coined because the language was originally limited to just [[client-side]], i.e. [[client-side JavaScript]] (CSJS).
{{r to section}}
The first implementation of SSJS was [[Netscape Communications Corporation|Netscape]]'s LiveWire, included in their Enterprise Server 2.0 product, released in [[1996]].
