ES5/6

Last updated May 18, 2025, generated by Sumble

What is ES5/6?

ES5 (ECMAScript 5) is a version of the ECMAScript standard (the scripting language specification upon which JavaScript is based). It introduced several new features and improvements over previous versions, such as strict mode, JSON support, and new array methods like `forEach`, `map`, `filter`, `reduce`, and `indexOf`. It aimed to standardize JavaScript's behavior across different browsers. ES5 is commonly used for supporting legacy browsers and environments that may not fully support newer ECMAScript versions, providing a stable and widely compatible baseline for JavaScript development.
