Isomorphic JavaScript, also known as Universal JavaScript, describes JavaScript applications which run both on the client and the server.

Name

The naming of the term 'Isomorphic JavaScript' has been a matter of controversy.[1] The term 'isomorphic' was first coined by Charlie Robbins from Nodejitsu, in one of the company's blog posts.[2] Spike Brehm, a software engineer from Airbnb, wrote another blog post using the same term.[3] However, others have proposed to use the term Universal JavaScript instead.[1][4][5]

Frameworks

There have been several isomorphic JavaScript frameworks and libraries created, most notably Miso and Meteor (framework). Others include Next.js, Nuxt, Sveltekit, Rendr, Derby, Ezel and Catberry.[citation needed]
