ExecJS
======
ExecJS lets you run JavaScript code from Ruby. It automatically picks
the best runtime available to evaluate your JavaScript program, then
returns the result to you as a Ruby object.
ExecJS supports these runtimes:
* [therubyracer](https://github.com/cowboyd/therubyracer) - Google V8
embedded within Ruby for exceptional performance
* [Google V8](http://code.google.com/p/v8/)
* [Node.js](http://nodejs.org/)
* Apple JavaScriptCore
* [Mozilla Spidermonkey](http://www.mozilla.org/js/spidermonkey/)
* TODO [Mozilla Rhino](http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/)
* TODO [Microsoft Windows Script Host](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9bbdkx3k.aspx) (JScript)
A short example:
require "execjs"
ExecJS.eval "'red yellow blue'.split(' ')"
# => ["red", "yellow", "blue"]
