Lack of documentation

[Sara Abdelhameed]

Hi, all
I am a newbie to V8 and I want to embed it in my C++ application, I am searching for a good documentation about V8 API that I'll use, is there a document that explains all the API? 

Thank you 

[Kevin Ingwersen]

The original v8 docu is really not very useful, indeed :/ It lacks a lot of newcommer support.
But, if you can spend some time, read shell.cc which is linked as an example code. It does contain things like how to evaluate a script and alike. That should help as a nice base. But I am currently learning myself…and being slightly frustrated.

No.

Welcome to V8.

And don't bother trying to find any useful helper library (v8juice and v8covert are both dead in the water) as they both stopped being updated because of how google likes to change the API in massive ways with little to no documentation.

Oh :( so how we could work and someone like me to start working on V8 engine as it is the first time to work on javascript engine?
Also, Spidermonkey lacks of updating its documentation!  
any advice will be appreciated?

the V8 embedder's guide is probably a good first start: https://developers.google.com/v8/embed

If you use a recent version of V8, you might need to adopt some of the examples, e.g. FunctionTemplate::New() now requires an Isolate* to be passed.
