'''Server-side JavaScript''' ('''SSJS''') refers to [[JavaScript]] that runs on the [[server-side]]. This term was coined because the language is predominantly used on the [[client-side]], i.e. [[client-side JavaScript]] (CSJS).
The first implementation of SSJS was [[Netscape Communications Corporation|Netscape]]'s LiveWire,{{citation needed|date=July 2010}} included in its [[Netscape Enterprise Server|Enterprise Server 2.0]] product,<ref>[http://docsrv.sco.com/INT_LiveWire/CONTENTS.html Netscape LiveWire Developer's Guide]</ref> released in 1996. [[CommonJS]] is a project to provide common specifications for SSJS development.<ref>http://commonjs.org</ref>
