Javascript engine for Application Automation

[Shaukat Mahmood Ahmad]

Hi All,

I am evaluating Google-V8 and Node.js as JavaScript engine for application automation / scripting support for my application. Node.js is also backed by Google V8 so which one (V8 or Node.js) is the best choice for application automation, selection criteria includes.

 - Cost (in terms of integration and implementation effort)

 - Performance

 - Reliability

 - Futuristic 

Regards,

Just use node.js. V8 is a pure JS engine, without any bindings to any I/O. Node.js provides those.
