Editing JavaScript (section)

== Development tools ==
Important tools have evolved with the language.

* Every major web browser has built-in [[web development tools]], including a JavaScript [[debugger]].
* [[Static program analysis]] tools, such as [[ESLint]] and [[JSLint]], scan JavaScript code for conformance to a set of standards and guidelines.
* Some browsers have built-in [[Profiling (computer programming)|profilers]]. Stand-alone profiling libraries have also been created, such as benchmark.js and jsbench.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://benchmarkjs.com/|title=Benchmark.js|website=benchmarkjs.com|access-date=2016-11-06|archive-date=2016-12-19|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161219182724/https://benchmarkjs.com/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="auto1">{{cite web|url=https://jsben.ch|title=JSBEN.CH Performance Benchmarking Playground for JavaScript|last=JSBEN.CH|website=jsben.ch|access-date=2021-08-13|archive-date=2021-02-27|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210227052409/https://jsben.ch/|url-status=live}}</ref>
