JSCert

Participants : Martin Bodin, Alan Schmitt.

The JSCert project aims to really understand JavaScript. JSCert itself is a mechanised specification of JavaScript, written in the Coq proof assistant, which closely follows the ECMAScript 5 English standard. JSRef is a reference interpreter for JavaScript in OCaml , which has been proved correct with respect to JSCert and tested with the Test 262 test suite.

We plan to build other verification and analysis projects on top of JSCert and JSRef, in particular the certification of derivations in program logics or static analyses.

This project is an ongoing collaboration between Inria and Imperial College. More information is available at http://jscert.org/ .
