JavaScript Enabling in Browsers

    We can run the JavaScript, in our web-browser. But how the browser or any other platform executes the JavaScript code? Every web browser contain a JavaScript Engine that parses, compiles, and executes the JavaScript code, Chrome has V8 engine, Firefox has SpiderMonkey, similarly, all the browser has a built-in JavaScript code. If we define a browser we can say that a browser is a tool to execute front-end languages such as HTML, XML, JavaScript, and CSS.
