FAQs

What are the minimum requirements for using v8js?

v8js requires PHP 8.0.0 or higher and the V8 JavaScript Engine library (libv8) version 9.0 or higher. It is primarily supported on GNU/Linux and MacOS X, with Windows support not officially maintained at this time.

Can v8js execute untrusted JavaScript code safely?

Yes, v8js is designed to execute JavaScript code within a secure sandbox. Developers can set time limits (in milliseconds) and memory limits (in bytes) to restrict execution, preventing malicious or runaway scripts from impacting the PHP application.

How does v8js handle data type conversion between PHP and JavaScript?

v8js provides mapping rules for converting data types. PHP arrays are mapped to JavaScript native arrays or objects depending on their structure. PHP objects are mapped to native JavaScript objects, with public methods and properties visible and live-bound.
