Microsoft JScript Features - ECMA (Visual Studio - JScript)

JScript incorporates almost all of the features of the ECMAScript Edition 3 Language Specification. In addition, JScript is being developed in conjunction with ECMAScript Edition 4 and incorporates many of the proposed features of that language as well. The tables below list the features of ECMAScript 3 and the proposed ECMAScript 4 features that JScript supports.
