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's LiveWire,[citation needed] included in its Enterprise Server 2.0 product,[1] released in 1996. CommonJS is a project to provide common specifications for SSJS development.[2]

Server-side JavaScript is becoming more popular because of faster JavaScript engines and the convenience of using the same language for both client and server.[3] One popular project driving server-side use is Node.js, based on the V8 JavaScript engine from Google Chrome.[4]
