## jerry_parse_option_enable_feature_t

Option bits for [jerry_parse_options_t](#jerry_parse_options_t).

 - JERRY_PARSE_NO_OPTS - No options passed
 - JERRY_PARSE_STRICT_MODE - Enable strict mode
 - JERRY_PARSE_MODULE - Parse source as an ECMAScript module
 - JERRY_PARSE_HAS_ARGUMENT_LIST - `argument_list` field is valid, this also means that function parsing will be done
 - JERRY_PARSE_HAS_SOURCE_NAME - `source_name` field is valid
 - JERRY_PARSE_HAS_START - `start_line` and `start_column` fields are valid
 - JERRY_PARSE_HAS_USER_VALUE - `user_value` field is valid

*New in version [[NEXT_RELEASE]]*.

Using both `JERRY_PARSE_MODULE` and `JERRY_PARSE_HAS_ARGUMENT_LIST` is an invalid combination and will result in
an exception during parsing.

**See also**

- [jerry_parse_options_t](#jerry_parse_options_t)

## jerry_gc_mode_t

Set garbage collection operational mode

 - JERRY_GC_PRESSURE_LOW - free unused objects
 - JERRY_GC_PRESSURE_HIGH - free as much memory as possible

The difference between `JERRY_GC_PRESSURE_LOW` and `JERRY_GC_PRESSURE_HIGH`
is that the former keeps memory allocated for performance improvements such
as property hash tables for large objects. The latter frees all possible
memory blocks but the performance may drop after the garbage collection.

*New in version 2.0*.

## jerry_frame_type_t

List of backtrace frame types returned by
[jerry_frame_type](#jerry_frame_type).

 - JERRY_BACKTRACE_FRAME_JS - indicates that the frame is created for a JavaScript function/method

*New in version [[NEXT_RELEASE]]*.

## jerry_generate_snapshot_opts_t

Flags for [jerry_generate_snapshot](#jerry_generate_snapshot):

 - JERRY_SNAPSHOT_SAVE_STATIC - generate static snapshot (see below)

**Generate static snapshots**
Snapshots contain literal pools, and these literal pools contain references
to constant literals (strings, numbers, etc.). When a snapshot is executed,
these literals are converted to jerry values and the literal pool entries
are changed to their corresponding jerry value. To support this conversion,
the literals and literal pools are copied into RAM even if the
`JERRY_SNAPSHOT_EXEC_COPY_DATA` option is passed to
[jerry_exec_snapshot](#jerry_exec_snapshot). This non-negligible memory
consumption can be avoided by using static snapshots. The literals of
these snapshots are limited to magic strings and 28 bit signed integers,
so their constant pools do not need to be loaded into the memory.
Hence these snapshots can be executed from ROM.

***Important note:*** The [jerry_exec_snapshot](#jerry_exec_snapshot)
function rejects static snapshots unless the `JERRY_SNAPSHOT_EXEC_ALLOW_STATIC`
option bit is set. The caller must also ensure that the same magic
strings are set by [jerry_register_magic_strings](#jerry_register_magic_strings)
when the snapshot is generated and executed. Furthermore the
`JERRY_SNAPSHOT_EXEC_COPY_DATA` option is not allowed.

*New in version 2.0*.

*Changed in version [[NEXT_RELEASE]]*: The `JERRY_SNAPSHOT_SAVE_STRICT` value is removed, `JERRY_PARSE_STRICT_MODE` should be used instead.

## jerry_exec_snapshot_opts_t

Flags for [jerry_exec_snapshot](#jerry_exec_snapshot) functions:

 - JERRY_SNAPSHOT_EXEC_COPY_DATA - copy snapshot data into memory (see below)
 - JERRY_SNAPSHOT_EXEC_ALLOW_STATIC - allow executing static snapshots
 - JERRY_SNAPSHOT_EXEC_LOAD_AS_FUNCTION - load snapshot as function instead of executing it
 - JERRY_SNAPSHOT_EXEC_HAS_RESOURCE - `source_name` field is valid
                                      in [jerry_exec_snapshot_option_values_t](#jerry_exec_snapshot_option_values_t)
 - JERRY_SNAPSHOT_EXEC_HAS_USER_VALUE - `user_value` field is valid
                                        in [jerry_exec_snapshot_option_values_t](#jerry_exec_snapshot_option_values_t)

*Changed in version [[NEXT_RELEASE]]*: The `JERRY_SNAPSHOT_EXEC_LOAD_AS_FUNCTION` value is added,
                                       which replaces the `jerry_load_function_snapshot` function.

**Copy snapshot data into memory**

By default the snapshot buffer is expected to be present in memory until
[jerry_cleanup](#jerry_cleanup) is called. For example `static const` buffers
compiled into the application binary satisfy this requirement.

If the snapshot buffer is freed after [jerry_exec_snapshot](#jerry_exec_snapshot)
is called the `JERRY_SNAPSHOT_EXEC_COPY_DATA` must be passed to copy the necessary
parts of the snapshot buffer into memory.

The `JERRY_SNAPSHOT_EXEC_COPY_DATA` option is not allowed for static snapshots.

*New in version 2.0*.

## jerry_char_t

**Summary**

Jerry's char value

**Prototype**

```c
typedef uint8_t jerry_char_t;
```

## jerry_size_t

**Summary**

Jerry's size

**Prototype**

```c
typedef uint32_t jerry_size_t;
```

## jerry_length_t

**Summary**

Jerry's length

**Prototype**

```c
typedef uint32_t jerry_length_t;
```

## jerry_value_t

**Summary**

A JerryScript value can be undefined, null, boolean, number, string, object, or an exception value. Exception values
represent thrown exceptions during execution. Exception values cannot be passed as an argument to regular API function,
only to those that work with exception values specifically.

Returned and created values by the API functions must be freed with
[jerry_value_free](#jerry_value_free) when they are no longer needed.

**Prototype**

```c
typedef uint32_t jerry_value_t;
```

## jerry_context_data_manager_t

**Summary**

Structure that defines how a context data item will be initialized and deinitialized. JerryScript zeroes out the memory
for the item by default, and if the `init_cb` field is not NULL, it will be called with the pointer to the memory as
an additional custom initializer. The `deinit_cb` (if non-`NULL`) is called during a call to `jerry_cleanup ()` to run
any custom deinitialization *before* the VM has been fully cleaned up. The `finalize_cb` (if non-`NULL`) is also called
during a call to `jerry_cleanup ()` to run any custom deinitialization *after* the VM has been fully cleaned up.
If bytes_needed field is 0, no buffer is allocated for the manager, callback functions are called with NULL pointer.

**Prototype**

```c
typedef struct
{
  /**
   * Callback responsible for initializing a context item, or NULL to zero out the memory. This is called lazily, the
   * first time jerry_context_data () is called with this manager.
   *
   * @param [in] data The buffer that JerryScript allocated for the manager. The buffer is zeroed out. The size is
   * determined by the bytes_needed field. The buffer is kept alive until jerry_cleanup () is called.
   */
  void (*init_cb) (void *data);

  /**
   * Callback responsible for deinitializing a context item, or NULL. This is called as part of jerry_cleanup (),
   * right *before* the VM has been cleaned up. This is a good place to release strong references to jerry_value_t's
   * that the manager may be holding.
   * Note: because the VM has not been fully cleaned up yet, jerry_object_native_info_t free_cb's can still get called
   * *after* all deinit_cb's have been run. See finalize_cb for a callback that is guaranteed to run *after* all
   * free_cb's have been run.
   *
   * @param [in] data The buffer that JerryScript allocated for the manager.
   */
  void (*deinit_cb) (void *data);

  /**
   * Callback responsible for finalizing a context item, or NULL. This is called as part of jerry_cleanup (),
   * right *after* the VM has been cleaned up and destroyed and jerry_... APIs cannot be called any more. At this point,
   * all values in the VM have been cleaned up. This is a good place to clean up native state that can only be cleaned
   * up at the very end when there are no more VM values around that may need to access that state.
   *
   * @param [in] data The buffer that JerryScript allocated for the manager. After returning from this callback,
   * the data pointer may no longer be used.
   */
  void (*finalize_cb) (void *data);

  /**
   * Number of bytes to allocate for this manager. This is the size of the buffer that JerryScript will allocate on
   * behalf of the manager. The pointer to this buffer is passed into init_cb, deinit_cb and finalize_cb. It is also
   * returned from the jerry_context_data () API.
   */
  size_t bytes_needed;
} jerry_context_data_manager_t;

## jerry_module_import_cb_t

**Summary**

Callback which is called when an import is resolved dynamically to get the referenced module.

*Note*:
 - If the function returns with a promise, the import call returns with this promise. The
   application should try to resolve the requested module later. If the module is evaluated
   successfully, the returned promise should be resolved with the namespace object of the
   module. Otherwise, the returned promise should be rejected with an exception.
 - If the function returns with a resolved module, a promise is created and resolved with the
   namespace object of the module. The import call returns with the resolved promise.
 - If the function returns with an exception, a promise is created and rejected with the
   returned exception. The import call returns with the rejected promise.
 - All other return values are considered invalid. In this case the import call returns
   with a rejected promise. The rejected promise has a fixed error message, it does not
   specify the reason of the fail.
 - If realms are enabled, the returned module should be created in the current realm
   (see: [jerry_current_realm](#jerry_current_realm))

**Prototype**

```c
typedef jerry_value_t (*jerry_module_import_cb_t) (const jerry_value_t specifier,

## jerry_object_native_info_t

**Summary**

Type information for native pointers. Since each native pointer has a type information,
multiple native pointers can be assigned to an object, and these can be updated or
deleted independently.

The type information has a free callback, which is called when the object is freed
by the garbage collector. If the callback is NULL, the application is not notified
about the destruction of the object.

The buffer pointed by the native pointer can have a fixed number of jerry values,
which refer to other values as long as the object is alive. The starting byte
offset and the number of these values are specified by `offset_of_references` and
`number_of_references` fields respectively. Before a buffer is attached to an
object by [jerry_object_set_native_ptr](#jerry_object_set_native_ptr),
the values must be initialized to undefined by
[jerry_native_ptr_init](#jerry_native_ptr_init).
When a buffer is no longer attached to any object, the
[jerry_native_ptr_free](#jerry_native_ptr_free)
must be called to release the values. A single buffer can be attached to any
number of living objects. When a buffer is currently attached to at least
one object, the references can be updated by
[jerry_native_ptr_set](#jerry_native_ptr_set).
However, if the buffer is no longer attached to an object, the finalize function
must be called even if the buffer is reattached to another object later. In this
case, calling the init function after the finalization is optional, because the
finalize function also initializes all values to undefined.

**Prototype**

```c
typedef struct
{
  jerry_object_native_free_cb_t free_cb; /**< the free callback of the native pointer */
  uint16_t number_of_references; /**< the number of value references which are marked by the garbage collector */
  uint16_t offset_of_references; /**< byte offset indicating the start offset of value
                                  *   references in the user allocated buffer */
} jerry_object_native_info_t;
```

*New in version 2.0*.

*Changed in version [[NEXT_RELEASE]]*: Added `number_of_references`, and `offset_of_references` fields.

# General engine functions

## jerry_init

**Summary**

Initializes the JerryScript engine, making it possible to run JavaScript code and perform operations
on JavaScript values. This is required for almost all API functions.

**Prototype**

```c
void
jerry_init (jerry_init_flag_t flags)
```

`flags` - combination of various engine configuration flags [jerry_init_flag_t](#jerry_init_flag_t).

**Example**

[doctest]: # ()

```c
#include "jerryscript.h"

int
main (void)
{
  jerry_init (JERRY_INIT_SHOW_OPCODES | JERRY_INIT_SHOW_REGEXP_OPCODES);

  // ...

  jerry_cleanup ();
  return 0;
}
```

**See also**

- [jerry_init_flag_t](#jerry_init_flag_t)
- [jerry_cleanup](#jerry_cleanup)


## jerry_cleanup

**Summary**

Finish JavaScript engine execution, freeing memory and JavaScript values.

*Note*: JavaScript values, received from engine, will be inaccessible after the cleanup.

**Prototype**

```c
void
jerry_cleanup (void);
```

**See also**

- [jerry_init](#jerry_init)


## jerry_context_data

**Summary**

Retrieve a pointer to the item stored within the current context by the given manager.

*Note*: Since internally the pointer to a manager's context data item is linked to the next such pointer in a linked
        list, it is inadvisable to invoke too many different managers, because doing so will increase the time it takes
        to retrieve a manager's context data item, degrading performance. For example, try to keep the number of
        managers below five.

**Prototype**

```c
void *
jerry_context_data (const jerry_context_data_manager *manager_p);
```

- `manager_p`: the manager of this context data item.
- return value: the item created by `manager_p` when `jerry_context_data ()` was first called, or a new item created
  by `manager_p`, which will be stored for future identical calls to `jerry_context_data ()`, and which will be
  deinitialized using the `deinit_cb` callback provided by `manager_p` when the context will be destroyed.

*New in version 2.0*.

**Example**

[doctest]: # (test="compile")

```c
#include "jerryscript.h"

typedef struct
{
  int my_data1;
  double my_data2;
  char *my_data3;
} my_context_data_t;

/* Define how context items will be initialized. */
static void
my_context_data_new (void *user_data_p)
{
  my_context_data_t *my_data_p = (my_context_data_t *) user_data_p;

  /*
   * Initialize my_data_p. JerryScript will store it on the current context and return it whenever
   * jerry_context_data () is called with a pointer to my_manager as defined below.
   */
}

/* Define how context items will be deinitialized */
static void
my_context_data_free (void *user_data_p)
{
  my_context_data_t *my_data_p = ((my_context_data_t *) user_data_p);

  /* Perform any necessary cleanup on my_data. JerryScript will free the pointer after this function completes. */
}

/* Wrap the creation and destruction functions into a manager */
static const jerry_context_data_manager_t my_manager =
{
  .init_cb = my_context_data_new,
  .deinit_cb = my_context_data_free,
  .bytes_needed = sizeof (my_context_data_t)
};

/*
 * Then, in some function in your code, you can retrieve an item of type my_context_data_t from the currently active
 * context such that JerryScript will create and store such an item if one was not previously created
 */
static void
someplace_in_the_code (void)
{
  my_context_data_t *my_data = (my_context_data_t *) jerry_context_data (&my_manager);
  /* Perform useful things using the data found in my_data */
}
```


## jerry_register_magic_strings

**Summary**

Registers an external magic string array.

*Notes*:
  - The strings in the array must be sorted by size at first, then lexicographically.
  - The maximum number of external magic strings is limited to 2147483648 (UINT32_MAX / 2).
    If there are more than 2147483648 external magic strings the extra is cropped.

**Prototype**

```c
void
jerry_register_magic_strings (const jerry_char_t * const *ex_str_items_p,
                              uint32_t count,
                              const jerry_length_t *str_lengths_p);
```

- `ex_str_items_p` - character arrays, representing external magic strings' contents
- `count` - number of elements in `ext_str_items_p` array
- `str_lengths_p` - array of lengths for each magic string

*Changed in version 2.0*: The first function argument type was changed.

**Example**

[doctest]: # ()

```c
#include "jerryscript.h"

int
main (void)
{
  jerry_init (JERRY_INIT_EMPTY);

  // must be static, because 'jerry_register_magic_strings' does not copy
  // the items must be sorted by size at first, then lexicographically
  static const jerry_char_t * const magic_string_items[] = {
                                                             (const jerry_char_t *) "magicstring1",
                                                             (const jerry_char_t *) "magicstring2",
                                                             (const jerry_char_t *) "magicstring3"
                                                           };
  uint32_t num_magic_string_items = (uint32_t) (sizeof (magic_string_items) / sizeof (jerry_char_t *));

  // must be static, because 'jerry_register_magic_strings' does not copy
  static const jerry_length_t magic_string_lengths[] = {
                                                         12,
                                                         12,
                                                         12
                                                       };

## jerry_heap_stats

**Summary**

Get heap memory stats.

**Notes**:
- The engine must be initialized with the `JERRY_INIT_MEM_STATS` option to allow
  heap statistic collections. See [jerry_init](#jerry_init)
- This API depends on a build option (`JERRY_MEM_STATS`) and can be checked
  in runtime with the `JERRY_FEATURE_HEAP_STATS` feature enum value,
  see: [jerry_feature_enabled](#jerry_feature_enabled).


**Prototype**

```c
bool
jerry_heap_stats (jerry_heap_stats_t *out_stats_p);
```

- `out_stats_p` - out parameter, that provides the heap statistics.
- return value
  - true, if stats were written into the `out_stats_p` pointer.
  - false, otherwise. Usually it is because the `JERRY_FEATURE_HEAP_STATS` feature is not enabled.

*New in version 2.0*.

**Example**

```c
jerry_init (JERRY_INIT_MEM_STATS);
// ...

jerry_heap_stats_t stats = {0};
bool get_stats_ret = jerry_heap_stats (&stats);
```

**See also**

- [jerry_init](#jerry_init)


## jerry_heap_gc

**Summary**

Performs garbage collection.

**Prototype**

```c
void
jerry_heap_gc (jerry_gc_mode_t mode);
```

- `mode` - operational mode, see [jerry_gc_mode_t](#jerry_gc_mode_t)

*Changed in version 2.0*: Added `mode` argument.

**Example**

[doctest]: # ()

```c
#include "jerryscript.h"

int
main (void)
{
  jerry_init (JERRY_INIT_EMPTY);

  jerry_value_t object_value = jerry_object ();
  jerry_value_free (object_value);

  jerry_heap_gc (JERRY_GC_PRESSURE_LOW);

  jerry_cleanup ();
}

# Parser and executor functions

Functions to parse and run JavaScript source code.

## jerry_parse

**Summary**

Parse a script, module, or function and create a compiled code using a character string.

*Note*: Returned value must be freed with [jerry_value_free](#jerry_value_free) when it
is no longer needed.

**Prototype**

```c
jerry_value_t
jerry_parse (const jerry_char_t *source_p,
             size_t source_size,
             const jerry_parse_options_t *options_p);
```

- `source_p` - string, containing source code to parse (must be a valid UTF8 string).
- `source_size` - size of the string, in bytes.
- `options_p` - additional parsing options, can be NULL if not used
- return value
  - function object value, if script was parsed successfully,
  - thrown exception, otherwise

*Changed in version 2.0*: Added `source_name_p`, and `source_name_length` arguments.

*Changed in version [[NEXT_RELEASE]]*: The `source_name_p`, `source_name_length`, and `parse_opts` arguments are replaced by `options_p`.
                                       This function replaces the `jerry_parse_function` method.

**Example 1**

[doctest]: # (name="02.API-REFERENCE-parse-simple.c")

## jerry_run_jobs

**Summary**

Run enqueued Promise tasks until the first thrown exception or until all tasks get executed.

# Exception manipulation functions

*Changed in version 2.0*: The exception handling and manipulation was modified and the old methods were replaced.

## jerry_throw_abort

**Summary**

Create (api) abort from a value.

This function creates an API abort value from an API value. The second argument defines
whether the input value must be released or not. If it is set to `true`,
then a [`jerry_value_free`](#jerry_value_free) function will be called
for the first argument, so the api value won't be available after the call of
`jerry_throw_abort`. The second argument should be false if both value
and created abort value are needed.

**Prototype**

```c
jerry_value_t
jerry_throw_abort (jerry_value_t value, bool take_ownersip);
```

- `value` - api value
- `take_ownership` - raw boolean, defines whether input value should be copied
- return value - abort exception value

*New in version 2.0*.

**Example 1**

```c
{
  jerry_value_t value;
  ... // create or copy value

  jerry_value_t abort = jerry_throw_abort (value, true);
  // using the 'value' variable after release is invalid.

  jerry_value_free (abort);
}
```

**Example 2**

```c
{
  jerry_value_t value;
  ... // create or copy value

  jerry_value_t abort = jerry_throw_abort (value, false);
  // both 'abort' and 'value' can be used and must be released when they are no longer needed

  jerry_value_free (abort);
  jerry_value_free (value);
}
```

- [jerry_exception_value](#jerry_exception_value)
- [jerry_throw](#jerry_throw)

## jerry_throw

**Summary**

Create exception from a value.

This function creates an API exception value from an API value. The second argument defines
whether the input value should be taken by the exception or copied. If it is set to `true`,
then then the ownership of the argument value is taken, so it won't be available after the call to
`jerry_throw`. The second argument should be false if both the original value and created exception are needed.

**Prototype**

```c
jerry_value_t
jerry_throw (jerry_value_t value, bool take_ownership);
```

- `value` - api value
- `take_ownership` - raw boolean, defines whether input value should be copied
- return value - exception value

*New in version 2.0*.

**Example 1**

```c
{
  jerry_value_t value;
  ... // create or copy value

  jerry_value_t exception = jerry_throw (value, true);
  // using the 'value' variable after release is invalid.


  jerry_value_free (exception);
}
```

**Example 2**

```c
{
  jerry_value_t value;
  ... // create or copy value

  jerry_value_t exception = jerry_throw_value (value, false);
  // both 'exception' and 'value' can be used and must be released when they are no longer needed

  jerry_value_free (exception);
  jerry_value_free (value);
}
```

## jerry_error_type

**Summary**

Returns the type of the Error object if possible. If a non-error object is used as the input for the function the
method will return `JERRY_ERROR_NONE` indicating that the value was not an Error object.

Note: If an exception value is passed as an argument, the function will inspect the contained value instead.

**Prototype**

```c
jerry_error_t
jerry_error_type (const jerry_value_t value);
```

- `value` - api value (possible exception object)
- return value
  - JERRY_ERROR_NONE if the input is not an error object
  - one of the [jerry_error_t](#jerry_error_t) value

*New in version 2.0*.

**Example**

```c
{
  jerry_value_t error_obj = jerry_error_sz (JERRY_ERROR_RANGE, "error msg");
  jerry_error_t error_type = jerry_error_type (error_obj);

  // error_type is now JERRY_ERROR_RANGE.

  jerry_value_free (error_obj);
}
```

- [jerry_error](#jerry_error)
- [jerry_value_is_exception](#jerry_value_is_exception)

## jerry_exception_value

**Summary**

Get the value contained in an exception.

Many API functions cannot be called with an exception value.
This function extracts the API value from an exception. The second argument defines
whether the input exception value should be released or not. If it is set to `true`,
then a [`jerry_value_free`](#jerry_value_free) function will be called
for the first argument, so the exception value won't be available after the call of
`jerry_exception_value`. The second argument should be false if both the exception
and its contained value are needed.

*Note*: Returned value must be freed with [jerry_value_free](#jerry_value_free) when it
is no longer needed.

**Prototype**

```c
jerry_value_t
jerry_exception_value (jerry_value_t value, bool release)
```

- `value` - exception value
- `release` - raw boolean, defines whether input value must be released
- return value - api value

*New in version 2.0*.

**Example 1**

```c
{
  jerry_value_t value;
  ... // create or copy value

  jerry_value_t exception = jerry_throw_value (value, true);
  jerry_value_t value_from_error = jerry_exception_value (exception, true);
  // using the 'exception' variable after release is invalid.

  jerry_value_free (value_from_error);
}
```

**Example 2**

```c
{
  jerry_value_t value;
  ... // create or copy value

  jerry_value_t exception = jerry_throw_value (value, true);
  jerry_value_t value_from_error = jerry_exception_value (exception, false);
  // both 'exception' and 'value_from_error' can be used and must be released when they are no longer needed

  jerry_value_free (value_from_error);
  jerry_value_free (exception);
}

## jerry_error_on_created

**Summary**

Set the decorator callback for newly created Error objects. The operation of the callback
is described in [jerry_error_object_created_cb_t](#jerry_error_object_created_cb_t).

**Prototype**

```c
void jerry_error_on_created (jerry_error_object_created_cb_t callback, void *user_p);
```

- `callback` - callback function, the previously set value is overwritten, and setting NULL
               disables the operation
- `user_p` - pointer passed to the callback function, can be NULL

*New in version 2.4*.

**Example**

```c
static void
error_object_created_callback (const jerry_value_t error_object) /**< new error object */
                               void *user_p) /**< user pointer */
{
  (void) error_object;
  (void) user_p;
  printf ("Notification: a new error is created\n");
} /* error_object_created_callback */

void main(void)
{
  jerry_init (JERRY_INIT_EMPTY);

  jerry_error_on_created (error_object_created_callback, NULL);

  jerry_value_free (jerry_error_sz (JERRY_ERROR_COMMON, "Message"));

  jerry_cleanup ();
} /* main */
```

**See also**

- [jerry_error_object_created_cb_t](#jerry_error_object_created_cb_t)

## jerry_on_throw

**Summary**

The callback passed to this function is called when an exception is thrown
in ECMAScript code. The callback is not called again until the value is
caught. See: [jerry_throw_cb_t](#jerry_throw_cb_t).

*Notes*:
- This API depends on a build option (`JERRY_VM_THROW`) and can be checked
  in runtime with the `JERRY_FEATURE_VM_THROW` feature enum value,
  see: [jerry_feature_enabled](#jerry_feature_enabled).

**Prototype**

```c
void
jerry_on_throw (jerry_throw_cb_t throw_cb,
                void *user_p);
```

- `throw_cb` - callback which is called on throws (passing NULL disables this feature)
- `user_p` - user pointer passed to the `throw_cb` function

*New in version [[NEXT_RELEASE]]*.

**Example**

[doctest]: # (test="compile")

```c
#include "jerryscript.h"

static void
vm_throw_callback (const jerry_value_t error_value, /**< captured exception */
                   void *user_p) /**< user pointer */
{
  (void) error_value;

  /* Counts the number of throws. */
  int *counter_p = (int *) user_p;
  (*counter_p)++;
}

int
main (void)
{
  jerry_init (JERRY_INIT_EMPTY);

  int counter = 0;
  jerry_on_throw (vm_throw_callback, &counter);

  const jerry_char_t script[] = "try { throw new Error('1') } catch (e) { throw new Error('2') }";

  jerry_value_free (jerry_eval (script, sizeof (script) - 1, JERRY_PARSE_NO_OPTS));

  /* The counter contains 2. */

  jerry_cleanup ();
  return 0;
}

## jerry_exception_is_captured

**Summary**

Checks whether the callback set by [jerry_on_throw](#jerry_on_throw)
captured the exception.

*Notes*:
- This API depends on a build option (`JERRY_VM_THROW`) and can be checked
  in runtime with the `JERRY_FEATURE_VM_THROW` feature enum value,
  see: [jerry_feature_enabled](#jerry_feature_enabled).

**Prototype**

```c
bool jerry_exception_is_captured (jerry_value_t value);
```

- `value` - api value (should be an exception)
- return value
  - true, if the vm throw callback captured the exception
  - false, otherwise

*New in version [[NEXT_RELEASE]]*.

**Example**

[doctest]: # (test="compile")

```c
#include "jerryscript.h"

static void
vm_throw_callback (const jerry_value_t error_value, /**< captured exception */
                   void *user_p) /**< user pointer */

## jerry_exception_allow_capture

**Summary**

Sets whether the callback set by [jerry_on_throw](#jerry_on_throw)
should capture the exception or not.

*Notes*:
- This API depends on a build option (`JERRY_VM_THROW`) and can be checked
  in runtime with the `JERRY_FEATURE_VM_THROW` feature enum value,

# Getter functions of 'jerry_value_t'

Get raw data from API values.

## jerry_value_as_number

**Summary**

Gets the number value of the given `jerry_value_t` parameter as a raw double.

If the argument passed is not a number `0.0` will be returned.

**Prototype**

```c
double
jerry_value_as_number (const jerry_value_t value);
```

- `value` - api value
- return value
  - the number value of the given `jerry_value_t` parameter as a raw double.
  - `0.0` if the api value passed is not a number.

**Example**

```c
{
  jerry_value_t value;
  ... // create or copy value

  if (jerry_value_is_number (value))
  {
    double raw_value = jerry_value_as_number (value);

    ... // usage of raw value

# Functions for string values

## jerry_string_size

**Summary**

Get the size of a string. Returns zero, if the value parameter is not a string.
This is effectively the number of bytes required to store the string's characters.

**Prototype**

```c
jerry_size_t
jerry_string_size (const jerry_value_t value, JERRY_ENCODING_CESU8);
```
- `value` - api value
- return value - number of bytes in the buffer needed to represent the string.

**Example**

```c
{
  const char char_array[] = "a string";
  jerry_value_t string = jerry_string_sz (char_array);

  jerry_size_t string_size = jerry_string_size (string, JERRY_ENCODING_CESU8);

  ... // usage of string_size

  jerry_value_free (string);
}
```

- [jerry_string_sz](#jerry_string_sz)
- [jerry_string_length](#jerry_string_length)
- [jerry_validate_string](#jerry_validate_string)


## jerry_string_length

**Summary**

Get the length of a string. Returns zero, if the value parameter is not a string.

*Notes:*
- The difference from [jerry_string_size](#jerry_string_size) is that it
  returns the number of bytes used for the string.
- This is **not** the number of bytes required to store the string.

**Prototype**

```c
jerry_length_t
jerry_string_length (const jerry_value_t value);
```

- `value` - api value
- return value - number of characters in the string

**Example**

```c
{
  const char char_array[] = "a string";
  jerry_value_t string = jerry_string_sz (char_array);

  jerry_length_t string_length = jerry_string_length (string);

  ... // usage of string_length

  jerry_value_free (string);

## jerry_string_to_buffer

**Summary**

Copy the characters of a string into a specified cesu-8 buffer.
The '\0' character could occur in the character buffer. Returns 0,
if the input value is not a string.

*Note*: Does not put '\0' to the end of string, the return value identifies
the number of valid bytes in the output buffer.

*Note*: If the size of the string is larger than the size of the
target buffer, the string will be cropped.


**Prototype**

```c
jerry_size_t
jerry_string_to_buffer (const jerry_value_t value,
                        jerry_encoding_t encoding,
                        jerry_char_t *buffer_p,
                        jerry_size_t buffer_size);
```

- `value` - input string value
- `encoding` - encoding oh the string data
- `buffer_p` - pointer to output buffer
- `buffer_size` - size of the buffer
- return value - number of bytes copied to the buffer

**Example**

[doctest]: # ()

```c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "jerryscript.h"

int
main (void)
{
  jerry_init (JERRY_INIT_EMPTY);

  jerry_value_t value;
  // create or copy value
  value = jerry_string_sz ("Demo string");

  // Read the string into a byte buffer.
  jerry_size_t string_size = jerry_string_size (value, JERRY_ENCODING_CESU8);
  jerry_char_t *string_buffer_p = (jerry_char_t *) malloc (sizeof (jerry_char_t) * (string_size + 1));

  jerry_size_t copied_bytes = jerry_string_to_buffer (value, JERRY_ENCODING_CESU8, string_buffer_p, string_size);
  string_buffer_p[copied_bytes] = '\0';

  jerry_value_free (value);

  jerry_cleanup ();

  printf ("Test string: %s\n", string_buffer_p);
  free (string_buffer_p);

# jerry_string_external_on_free

**Summary**

Sets the global callback which is called when the string data of an external
string is no longer used. It is recommended to set this function before the
first external string is created.

*Note*:
  - When the callback is NULL, no function is called when an external string is freed.
  - In some cases (e.g. when the string is also a magic string registered by
    [jerry_register_magic_strings](#jerry_register_magic_strings)), the callback
    is called when the string is created, not when it is released.

**Prototype**

```c
void jerry_string_external_on_free (jerry_external_string_free_cb_t callback_p);
```

- `callback_p` - callback which is called when an external string is freed.

*New in version [[NEXT_RELEASE]]*.

**Example**

[doctest]: # ()

```c
#include "jerryscript.h"
#include <stdio.h>

static void
external_string_free_callback (jerry_char_t *string_p, /**< string pointer */

# jerry_string_user_ptr

**Summary**

Returns the user pointer assigned to an external string.

*Note*:
  - In some cases (e.g. when the string is also a magic string registered by
    [jerry_register_magic_strings](#jerry_register_magic_strings)), the
    string is a normal string without a user pointer even if it is created
    by [jerry_string_external_sz](#jerry_string_external_sz).

```c
void *jerry_string_user_ptr (const jerry_value_t value,
                             bool *is_external);
```

- `value` - string value.
- `is_external` - when `is_external` is non-NULL, the referenced boolean value is set
                  to true, if `value` is an external string, and set to false otherwise
- return value
  - user pointer - if `value` argument is an external string
  - NULL - otherwise

## jerry_module_on_import

Sets the callback which is called when dynamic imports are resolved. The resolver
receives the `user_value` assigned to the currently executed script, which should
provide all the information that is necessary for the resolve.

*Notes*:
- This API depends on a build option (`JERRY_MODULE_SYSTEM`) and can be checked
  in runtime with the `JERRY_FEATURE_MODULE` feature enum value,
  see: [jerry_feature_enabled](#jerry_feature_enabled).
- The possible return values of the callback is explained
  in [jerry_module_import_cb_t](#jerry_module_import_cb_t)

**Prototype**

```c
void
jerry_module_on_import (jerry_module_import_cb_t callback_p,
                        void *user_p)
```

- `callback_p` - a [jerry_module_import_cb_t](#jerry_module_import_cb_t) callback which handles `import()` calls
- `user_p` - user pointer passed to the callback

*New in version [[NEXT_RELEASE]]*.

  in runtime with the `JERRY_FEATURE_BIGINT` feature enum value,
  see: [jerry_feature_enabled](#jerry_feature_enabled).
- Returned value must be freed with [jerry_value_free](#jerry_value_free) when it
  is no longer needed.

**Prototype**

```c
uint32_t
jerry_bigint_digit_count (jerry_value_t value)
```

- `value` - BigInt value
- return value
  - number of digits (can be zero for BigInt zero)

## jerry_bigint_to_digits

**Summary**

Copies the uint64 digits of a BigInt value into a buffer. This function supports any
buffer sizes. If the buffer size is smaller than the size returned by
`[jerry_bigint_digit_count](#jerry_bigint_digit_count)`, only the
least significant digits are copied into the buffer. If the buffer size is greater,
the unused digits are filled with zero.

*Notes*:
- This API depends on a build option (`JERRY_BUILTIN_BIGINT`) and can be checked
  in runtime with the `JERRY_FEATURE_BIGINT` feature enum value,
  see: [jerry_feature_enabled](#jerry_feature_enabled).
- Returned value must be freed with [jerry_value_free](#jerry_value_free) when it
  is no longer needed.

**Prototype**

```c
void
jerry_bigint_to_digits (jerry_value_t value, uint64_t *digits_p, uint32_t size, bool *sign_p)
```

- `value` - BigInt value
- `digits_p` - output buffer for digits
- `size` - size of the output buffer
- `sign_p` - the boolean passed to the function is set to false when the BigInt
             is positive, and set to true otherwise (this parameter can be NULL)

*New in version 2.4*.

**Example**

[doctest]: # ()

```c
#include "jerryscript.h"

int
main (void)

The receiver is passed as the `this` argument for getters, and the receiver
argument for Proxy `get` traps.

*Notes*:
  - Returned value must be freed with [jerry_value_free](#jerry_value_free) when it is no longer needed.
  - The `found_p` argument is ignored if its value is NULL.
  - The target value of `found_p` argument is set to false when the arguments are invalid, e.g. `obj_val` is not an object.

```

- `obj_val` - object value
- `prop_name_val` - property name
- `receiver_val` - receiver object
- `found_p` - [out] true, if the property is found or obj_val is a Proxy object, false otherwise

## jerry_object_set_native_ptr

**Summary**

Set native pointer and an optional type information for the specified object.
You can get them by calling [jerry_object_get_native_ptr](#jerry_object_get_native_ptr) later.

*Notes*:
 - If a native pointer was already set for the object with the same type information, its value is updated.
 - If a non-NULL free callback is specified in the native type information,
   it will be called by the garbage collector when the object is freed.
 - If the object is only referenced via the "global" object (or one of it's "child"),
   the free callback will be invoked during the execution of `jerry_cleanup`.
 - The free callback can invoke API functions.

*Note*: If possible do not store API values in native pointers, rather check
        [jerry_object_set_internal](#jerry_object_set_internal).

**Prototype**

```c
void
jerry_object_set_native_ptr (const jerry_value_t obj_val,
                             const jerry_object_native_info_t *info_p,
                             void *native_p);
```

- `obj_val` - object to set native pointer in.
- `info_p` - native pointer's type information or NULL. When used, this should
             be a long-lived pointer, usually a pointer to a
             `static const jerry_object_native_info_t` makes most sense.
- `native_p` - native pointer.

*New in version 2.0*: Changed from `jerry_set_object_native_handle`.

**Example**

See [jerry_object_get_native_ptr](#jerry_object_get_native_ptr) for a
best-practice example.

## jerry_object_delete_native_ptr

**Summary**

Delete the native pointer of the specified object associated with the given native type info.

*Notes*:
 - If the specified object has no matching native pointer for the given native type info the operation has no effect.
 - The method does not invoke the free callback specified in the type info.
   If the native pointer should be freed then one must get the native pointer first and invoke the free callback manually
   before calling this method.
 - This operation cannot throw an exception.

**Prototype**

```c
bool
jerry_object_delete_native_ptr (const jerry_value_t obj_val,
                                const jerry_object_native_info_t *info_p)
```

- `obj_val` - object to delete native pointer from.
- `info_p` - native pointer's type information.

*New in version 2.0*.

**Example**

## jerry_native_ptr_init

**Summary**

Initialize the references stored in a buffer pointed by a native pointer.
The references are initialized to undefined. This function must be called
before the buffer is attached to an object by
[jerry_object_set_native_ptr](#jerry_object_set_native_ptr).

*Note*:
  - The description of [jerry_object_native_info_t](#jerry_object_native_info_t)
    provides detailed information about these references.

**Prototype**

```c
void
jerry_native_ptr_init (void *native_pointer_p,
                       const jerry_object_native_info_t *native_info_p);
```

## jerry_native_ptr_free

**Summary**

Release the value references stored in a buffer pointed by a native pointer.
This function must be called after a buffer is no longer attached to any
object, even if the buffer is attached to another object again. This
function also initializes the values to undefined, so calling
[jerry_native_ptr_init](#jerry_native_ptr_init)
is optional before the buffer is attached again.

*Note*:
  - The description of [jerry_object_native_info_t](#jerry_object_native_info_t)
    provides detailed information about these references.

**Prototype**

```c
void
jerry_native_ptr_free (void *native_pointer_p,

If the method returns `false` the search for the object is finished.

*Note*: Values obtained in `foreach_p` must be retained using [jerry_value_copy](#jerry_value_copy).

**Prototype**

```c
bool
jerry_foreach_live_object (jerry_foreach_live_object_cb_t foreach_p,
                           void *user_data_p);
```

- `foreach_p` - function that will be invoked for each object.
- `user_data_p` - User data to pass to the function.
- return value
  - `true`, if the search function terminated the traversal by returning `false`
  - `false`, if the end of the list of objects was reached

## jerry_foreach_live_object_with_info

**Summary**

Iterate over all objects in the engine matching a certain native data type.

The "iterator" `foreach_p` method should return `true` value to continue the search.

                                     void *user_data_p);
```

- `native_info_p` - native pointer's type information.

# Input validator functions

## jerry_validate_string

**Summary**

Check if a given character buffer is a valid in the specified encoding string.

**Notes**: Calling this method is safe in any time. It can be called
even before engine initialization.

**Prototype**

```c
bool
jerry_validate_string (const jerry_char_t *buffer_p, /**< string data */
                       jerry_size_t buf_size, /**< string size */
                       jerry_encoding_t encoding); /**< encoding */
```

- `buffer_p` - input string buffer.
- `buf_size` - input string buffer size in bytes.
- `encoding` - string encoding
- return value
  - true, if the provided string was a valid UTF-8 string.
  - false, if the string is not valid as an UTF-8 string.

*New in version 2.0*.

**Example**

[doctest]: # ()

```c
#include "jerryscript.h"

int
main (void)
{
  const jerry_char_t script[] = "print ('Hello, World!');";

# Dynamic memory management functions

## jerry_heap_alloc

**Summary**

Allocate memory on the engine's heap.

*Note*: This function may take away memory from the executed JavaScript code.
If any other dynamic memory allocation API is available (e.g., libc malloc), it
should be used instead.

**Prototype**

```c
void *jerry_heap_alloc (size_t size);
```

- `size`: size of the memory block.
- return value: non-NULL pointer, if the memory is successfully allocated,
                NULL otherwise.

*New in version 2.0*.

**See also**

- [jerry_heap_free](#jerry_heap_free)

## jerry_heap_free

**Summary**

Free memory allocated on the engine's heap.

**Prototype**

```c
void jerry_heap_free (void *mem_p, size_t size);
```

- `mem_p`: value returned by `jerry_heap_alloc`.
- `size`: same size as passed to `jerry_heap_alloc`.

*New in version 2.0*.

# External context functions

## jerry_context_alloc

**Summary**

Create an external JerryScript engine context.

                     jerry_context_alloc_t alloc,
                     void *cb_data_p);
```

- `heap_size` - requested heap size of the JerryScript context
- `alloc` - function for allocation
- `cb_data_p` - user data
- return value
  - pointer to the newly created JerryScript context if success
  - NULL otherwise.

*New in version 2.0*.

# Snapshot functions

## jerry_generate_snapshot

**Summary**

Generate snapshot from the specified source code.

*Notes*:
- Returned value must be freed with [jerry_value_free](#jerry_value_free) when it
  is no longer needed.
- This API depends on a build option (`JERRY_SNAPSHOT_SAVE`) and can be checked in runtime with
  the `JERRY_FEATURE_SNAPSHOT_SAVE` feature enum value, see [jerry_feature_enabled](#jerry_feature_enabled).
  If the feature is not enabled the function will return an exception.

**Prototype**

```c
jerry_value_t
jerry_generate_snapshot (jerry_value_t compiled_code,
                         uint32_t generate_snapshot_opts,
                         uint32_t *buffer_p,
                         size_t buffer_size);
```

- `compiled_code` - compiled script or function (see: [jerry_parse](#jerry_parse)).
- `generate_snapshot_opts` - any combination of [jerry_generate_snapshot_opts_t](#jerry_generate_snapshot_opts_t) flags.
- `buffer_p` - output buffer (aligned to 4 bytes) to save snapshot to.
- `buffer_size` - the output buffer's size in bytes.
- return value
  - the size of the generated snapshot in bytes as number value, if it was generated successfully (i.e. there
    are no syntax errors in source code, buffer size is sufficient, and snapshot support is enabled in
    current configuration through JERRY_SNAPSHOT_SAVE)
  - thrown exception, otherwise.

*New in version 2.0*.

*Changed in version [[NEXT_RELEASE]]*: The `source_p`, `source_size`, `source_name_p`,
                                       and `source_name_length` arguments are replaced by `compiled_code`
                                       which should contain a compiled ECMAScript script / function.
                                       The `jerry_generate_function_snapshot` is now removed and can be reproduced
                                       by calling `jerry_parse` with function arguments and using this method
                                       (see [jerry_exec_snapshot](#jerry_exec_snapshot)).
**Example**

## jerry_exec_snapshot

**Summary**

Execute/load snapshot from the specified buffer.

*Notes*:
- Returned value must be freed with [jerry_value_free](#jerry_value_free) when it
  is no longer needed.
- This API depends on a build option (`JERRY_SNAPSHOT_EXEC`) and can be checked in runtime with
  the `JERRY_FEATURE_SNAPSHOT_EXEC` feature enum value, see [jerry_feature_enabled](#jerry_feature_enabled).
  If the feature is not enabled the function will return an exception.

**Prototype**

```c
jerry_value_t
jerry_exec_snapshot (const uint32_t *snapshot_p,
                     size_t snapshot_size,
                     size_t func_index,
                     uint32_t exec_snapshot_opts,
                     const jerry_exec_snapshot_option_values_t *options_values_p);
```

- `snapshot_p` - pointer to snapshot.
- `snapshot_size` - size of snapshot in bytes.
- `func_index` - index of executed function.
- `exec_snapshot_opts` - any combination of [jerry_exec_snapshot_opts_t](#jerry_exec_snapshot_opts_t) flags.
- `options_values_p` - additional loading options, can be NULL if not used. The fields are described in
                       [jerry_exec_snapshot_option_values_t](#jerry_exec_snapshot_option_values_t).
- return value
  - result of bytecode, if run was successful.
  - thrown exception, otherwise (an exception is reported if the snapshot execution feature is not enabled).

*Changed in version 2.0*: Added `func_index` and `exec_snapshot_opts` arguments. Removed the `copy_bytecode` last argument.

*Changed in version [[NEXT_RELEASE]]*: Added `options_p` argument.

## jerry_get_literals_from_snapshot

**Summary**

Collect the used literals from the given snapshot and save them into a buffer in list or C format.
None of these literals are magic strings. In C format only valid identifiers are collected.

*Note*:
- This API depends on a build option (`JERRY_SNAPSHOT_SAVE`) and can be checked in runtime with
  the `JERRY_FEATURE_SNAPSHOT_SAVE` feature enum value, see [jerry_feature_enabled](#jerry_feature_enabled).
  If the feature is not enabled the function will return zero.

**Prototype**

```c
size_t
jerry_get_literals_from_snapshot (const uint32_t *snapshot_p,
                                  size_t snapshot_size,
                                  jerry_char_t *lit_buf_p,
                                  size_t lit_buf_size,
                                  bool is_c_format);
```

- `snapshot_p` - input snapshot buffer.
- `snapshot_size` - size of snapshot in bytes.
- `lit_buf_p` - buffer to save literals to.
- `lit_buf_size` - the buffer's size.
- `is_c_format` - the output format would be C-style (true) or a simple list (false).
- return value
  - the size of the literal-list, if it was generated successfully (i.e. the list of literals isn't empty,
    and literal-save support is enabled in current configuration through JERRY_SNAPSHOT_SAVE)
  - 0 otherwise.

*New in version 2.0*.

# Backtrace functions

## jerry_backtrace

**Summary**

Get backtrace. The backtrace is an array of strings where
each string contains the position of the corresponding frame.
The array length is zero if the backtrace is not available.

This function is typically called from native callbacks.

*Notes*:
- Returned value must be freed with [jerry_value_free](#jerry_value_free) when it
is no longer needed.
- This feature depends on build option (`JERRY_LINE_INFO`) and can be checked
  in runtime with the `JERRY_FEATURE_LINE_INFO` feature enum value,
  see: [jerry_feature_enabled](#jerry_feature_enabled).

**Prototype**

```c
jerry_value_t
jerry_backtrace (uint32_t max_depth);
```

- `max_depth` - backtrace collection stops after reaching this value, 0 = unlimited
- return value
  - a newly constructed JS array

*New in version 2.0*.

## jerry_backtrace_capture

**Summary**

Low-level function to capture each backtrace frame. The captured frame data
is passed to a callback function. To improve performance, the majority of
the frame data is not initialized when the callback function is called. The
initialization of these fields can be done later by helper functions such
as [jerry_frame_location](#jerry_frame_location).

**Prototype**

```c
void
jerry_backtrace_capture (jerry_backtrace_cb_t callback, void *user_p);
```

- `callback` - a [jerry_backtrace_cb_t](#jerry_backtrace_cb_t) callback
               which is called for each captured frame
- `user_p` - pointer passed to the `callback` function, can be NULL

# Miscellaneous functions

## jerry_halt_handler

**Summary**

The callback passed to this function is periodically called when
JerryScript executes an ECMAScript program.

If the callback returns with undefined value the ECMAScript execution continues.
Otherwise the result is thrown by the engine. The callback function might be
called again even if it threw an exception. In this case the function must throw the
same exception again.

To reduce the CPU overhead of constantly checking the termination
condition the callback is called when a backward jump is executed
or an exception is caught. Setting the `interval` to a greater
than `1` value reduces this overhead further. If its value is N
only every Nth event (backward jump, etc.) trigger the next check.

*Notes*:
- This API depends on a build option (`JERRY_VM_HALT`) and can be checked
  in runtime with the `JERRY_FEATURE_VM_EXEC_STOP` feature enum value,
  see: [jerry_feature_enabled](#jerry_feature_enabled).

**Prototype**

```c
void
jerry_halt_handler (uint32_t interval,
                    jerry_halt_cb_t callback
                    void *user_p);
```

- `interval` - interval of calling the `callback` function
- `callback` - periodically called callback (passing NULL disables this feature)
- `user_p` - user pointer passed to the `callback` function

*New in version 2.0*.

**Example**

[doctest]: # (test="link")

```c
#include "jerryscript.h"

static jerry_value_t
vm_exec_stop_callback (void *user_p)
{
  int *countdown_p = (int *) user_p;

  while (*countdown_p > 0)
  {
    (*countdown_p)--;
    return jerry_undefined ();
  }

  // The value will be automatically wrapped into an exception.
  return jerry_string_sz ("Abort script");
}

int
main (void)
{
  jerry_init (JERRY_INIT_EMPTY);

  int countdown = 10;
  jerry_halt_handler (16, vm_exec_stop_callback, &countdown);

  // Infinite loop.
  const jerry_char_t script[] = "while(true) {}";

  jerry_value_t parsed_code = jerry_parse (script, sizeof (script) - 1, NULL);
  jerry_value_free (jerry_run (parsed_code));
  jerry_value_free (parsed_code);
  jerry_cleanup ();

## jerry_source_name

**Summary**

Get the resource name (usually a file name) of the currently executed script or the given function object.

This function is typically called from native callbacks.

*Notes*:
- Returned value must be freed with [jerry_value_free](#jerry_value_free) when it
is no longer needed.
- This feature depends on build option (`JERRY_LINE_INFO`) and can be checked
  in runtime with the `JERRY_FEATURE_LINE_INFO` feature enum value,
  see: [jerry_feature_enabled](#jerry_feature_enabled).

**Prototype**

```c
jerry_value_t
jerry_source_name (jerry_value_t value);
```
- `value` - api value to obtain the resource name from
- return string value constructed from
  - the currently executed function object's resource name, if the given value is undefined
  - resource name of the function object, if the given value is a function object
  - "<anonymous>", otherwise

*New in version 2.2*.

**Example**

[doctest]: # (name="02.API-REFERENCE-jsresourcename.c")

```c
#include <stdio.h>

## jerry_source_user_value

**Summary**

Returns the user value assigned to a script / module / function. This value is
set by the parser when the JERRY_PARSE_HAS_USER_VALUE flag is set in the `options`
member of the [jerry_parse_options_t](#jerry_parse_options_t) structure.

*Notes*:
- Returned value must be freed with [jerry_value_free](#jerry_value_free) when it
is no longer needed.

**Prototype**

```c
jerry_value_t
jerry_source_user_value (const jerry_value_t value);
```
- `value` - script / module / function value which executes ECMAScript
            code (native modules / functions do not have user value).

  - user value - if available,
  - undefined - otherwise

*New in version [[NEXT_RELEASE]]*.

**Example**

[doctest]: # ()

```c
#include "jerryscript.h"

## jerry_source_info

**Summary**

Returns a newly created source info structure corresponding to the passed script/module/function.
The function is lower level than `toString()` operation, but provides more contextual information.

*Notes*:
- Returned value must be freed with [jerry_source_info_free](#jerry_source_info_free) when it
is no longer needed.
- This API depends on a build option (`JERRY_FUNCTION_TO_STRING`) and can be checked
  in runtime with the `JERRY_FEATURE_FUNCTION_TO_STRING` feature enum value,
  see: [jerry_feature_enabled](#jerry_feature_enabled).

**Prototype**

# Functions for realm objects

These APIs all depend on build option (`JERRY_BUILTIN_REALMS`).

## jerry_set_realm

**Summary**

Replaces the currently active realm (including the global object) with another realm.
The replacement should be temporary, and the original realm must be restored after
the tasks are completed. During the replacement, the realm must be referenced
by the application (i.e. the gc must not reclaim it). This is also true to
the returned previously active realm, so there is no need to free the value
after the restoration. The function can only fail if realms are not supported
or the passed argument is not a realm. In this case the returned exception must
be freed by [jerry_value_free](#jerry_value_free).

This function is useful to parse a script, create a native function, load a snapshot
or create an exception in another realm. Each ECMAScript code runs in the realm
which was active when the code was parsed or loaded regardless of the current realm.

*Notes*:
- This feature depends on build option (`JERRY_BUILTIN_REALMS`) and can be checked
  in runtime with the `JERRY_FEATURE_REALM` feature enum value,
  see: [jerry_feature_enabled](#jerry_feature_enabled).
- The es.next profile enables this by default.

**Prototype**

```c
jerry_value_t
jerry_set_realm (jerry_value_t realm_value);
```
- `realm_value` - the new realm value
- return
  - previous realm value - if the passed value is a realm
  - exception - otherwise

*New in version 2.4*.

**Example**

```c
{
  jerry_value_t realm_value = jerry_realm ();

  jerry_value_t old_realm = jerry_set_realm (realm_value);

  ... // usage of the realm

  jerry_set_realm (old_realm);
}
```

- [jerry_realm](#jerry_realm)

## jerry_realm_this

**Summary**

Gets the 'this' binding of a realm. The 'this' binding is always an object.
By default the 'this' binding is the same as the realm object and can be
changed by [jerry_realm_set_this](#jerry_realm_set_this).

*Notes*:
- This feature depends on build option (`JERRY_BUILTIN_REALMS`) and can be checked
  in runtime with the `JERRY_FEATURE_REALM` feature enum value,
  see: [jerry_feature_enabled](#jerry_feature_enabled).
- The es.next profile enables this by default.

**Prototype**

```c
jerry_value_t
jerry_realm_this (jerry_value_t realm_value)
```
- `realm_value` - realm value
- return
  - type error exception- if realm_value is not a realm
  - 'this' binding object - otherwise

*New in version 2.4*.

**Example**

```c
{
  jerry_value_t realm_value = jerry_realm ();

  jerry_value_t this_value = jerry_realm_this (realm_value);

  ... // usage of the this_value

  jerry_value_free (this_value);
  jerry_value_free (realm_value);
}
```

## jerry_realm_set_this

**Summary**

Sets the 'this' binding of a realm. This function must be called before executing
any script on the realm. Otherwise the operation is undefined.

*Notes*:
- This feature depends on build option (`JERRY_BUILTIN_REALMS`) and can be checked
  in runtime with the `JERRY_FEATURE_REALM` feature enum value,
  see: [jerry_feature_enabled](#jerry_feature_enabled).
- The es.next profile enables this by default.

**Prototype**

```c
jerry_value_t
jerry_realm_set_this (jerry_value_t realm_value, jerry_value_t this_value)
```
- `realm_value` - realm value
- `this_value` - new this value
- return
  - type error exception- if realm_value is not a realm or this_value is not object
  - true - otherwise

*New in version 2.4*.

**Example**

```c
{
  jerry_value_t realm_value = jerry_realm ();

  jerry_value_t old_realm = jerry_set_realm (realm_value);
  /* The prototype of the object comes from the new realm. */
  jerry_value_t this_value = jerry_object ();

# ArrayBuffer and TypedArray functions

These APIs all depend on the es.next profile.

## jerry_arraybuffer_size

**Summary**

Get the byte length property of the ArrayBuffer or SharedArrayBuffer. This is the
same value which was passed to the ArrayBuffer constructor call.

**Prototype**

```c
jerry_length_t
jerry_arraybuffer_size (const jerry_value_t value);
```

- `value` - ArrayBuffer object
- return value
  - size of the ArrayBuffer in bytes
  - 0 if the `value` parameter is not an ArrayBuffer

*New in version 2.0*.

**Example**

```c
{
  jerry_value_t buffer = jerry_arraybuffer (15);
  jerry_length_t length = jerry_arraybuffer_size (buffer);
  // length should be 15

  jerry_value_free (buffer);
}
```

**See also**
- [jerry_arraybuffer](#jerry_arraybuffer)


## jerry_arraybuffer_read

**Summary**

Copy the portion of the ArrayBuffer or SharedArrayBuffer into a user provided buffer.
The start offset of the read operation can be specified.

The number bytes to be read can be specified via the `buf_size`
parameter. It is not possible to read more than the length of
the ArrayBuffer.

Function returns the number of bytes read from the ArrayBuffer
(and written to the buffer parameter). This value is
calculated in the following way: `min(array buffer length - offset, buf_size)`.

**Prototype**

```c
jerry_length_t
jerry_arraybuffer_read (const jerry_value_t value,
                        jerry_length_t offset,
                        uint8_t *buf_p,
                        jerry_length_t buf_size);
```

- `value` - ArrayBuffer to read from
- `offset` - start offset of the read operation
- `buf_p` - buffer to read the data to
- `buf_size` - maximum number of bytes to read into the buffer
- return value
  - number of bytes written into the buffer (read from the ArrayBuffer)
  - 0 if the `value` is not an ArrayBuffer object
  - 0 if the `buf_size` is zero or there is nothing to read

*New in version 2.0*.

**Example**

```c
{
  uint8_t data[20];
  jerry_value_t buffer;
  // ... create the ArrayBuffer or copy it from somewhere.

  jerry_value_t bytes_read;

  // read 10 bytes from the start of the ArrayBuffer.
  bytes_read = jerry_arraybuffer_read (buffer, 0, data, 10);
  // read the next 10 bytes
  bytes_read += jerry_arraybuffer_read (buffer, bytes_read, data + bytes_read, 10);

  // process the data variable

  jerry_value_free (buffer);
}

## jerry_arraybuffer_write

**Summary**

Copy the contents of a buffer into the ArrayBuffer or SharedArrayBuffer.
The start offset of the write operation can be specified.

The number bytes to be written can be specified via the `buf_size`
parameter. It is not possible to write more than the length of
the ArrayBuffer.

Function returns the number of bytes written into the ArrayBuffer
(and read from the buffer parameter). This value is
calculated in the following way: `min(array buffer length - offset, buf_size)`.

**Prototype**

```c
jerry_length_t
jerry_arraybuffer_write (const jerry_value_t value,
                         jerry_length_t offset,
                         const uint8_t *buf_p,
                         jerry_length_t buf_size);
```

- `value` - ArrayBuffer to write to
- `offset` - start offset of the write operation
- `buf_p` - buffer to read the data from
- `buf_size` - maximum number of bytes to write into the ArrayBuffer
- return value
  - number of bytes written into the ArrayBuffer (read from the buffer parameter)
  - 0 if the `value` is not an ArrayBuffer object
  - 0 if the `buf_size` is zero or there is nothing to write

*New in version 2.0*.

**Example**

```c
{
  uint8_t data[20];

  // fill the data with values
  for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++)
  {
    data[i] = (uint8_t) (i * 2);
  }

  jerry_value_t buffer;
  // ... create the ArrayBuffer or copy it from somewhere.

  jerry_value_t bytes_written;

  // write 10 bytes from to the start of the ArrayBuffer.
  bytes_written = jerry_arraybuffer_write (buffer, 0, data, 10);
  // read the next 10 bytes
  bytes_written += jerry_arraybuffer_write (buffer, bytes_written, data + bytes_written, 10);

  // use the ArrayBuffer

## jerry_arraybuffer_data

**Summary**

The function allows access to the contents of the Array Buffer directly.

**WARNING!** This operation is for expert use only! The programmer must
ensure that the returned memory area is used correctly. That is
there is no out of bounds reads or writes. The lifetime of the underlying
data buffer is managed by the ArrayBuffer value. Make sure to copy the
value with [`jerry_value_copy`](#jerry_value_copy) if the data
buffer is needed later.

**Prototype**

```c
uint8_t *
jerry_arraybuffer_data (const jerry_value_t value);
```

- `value` - Array Buffer object.
- return value
  - pointer to the Array Buffer's data area.
  - NULL if the `value` is:
    - not an ArrayBuffer object
    - an external ArrayBuffer has been detached

*New in version 2.0*.

**Example**

```c
{
  // create the ArrayBuffer
  jerry_value_t buffer = jerry_arraybuffer (16);

  uint8_t *const data = jerry_arraybuffer_data (buffer);

  for (int i = 0; i < 16; i++)
  {
    data[i] = (uint8_t) (i + 4);
  }

  // use the Array Buffer

  // release buffer as it is not needed after this point
  jerry_value_free (buffer);
}
```

- [jerry_arraybuffer_external](#jerry_arraybuffer_external)

## jerry_arraybuffer_is_detachable

**Summary**

Get if the ArrayBuffer is detachable.

**Prototype**

```c
bool
jerry_arraybuffer_is_detachable (const jerry_value_t value);
```

- `value` - ArrayBuffer to be detached
- return
  - true if the arraybuffer is detachable
  - false otherwise

*New in version 2.2*.

**Example**

```c
{
  // create the ArrayBuffer
  jerry_value_t buffer = jerry_arraybuffer (16);

  bool is_detachable = jerry_arraybuffer_is_detachable (buffer);

  // release buffer as it is not needed after this point
  jerry_value_free (buffer);
}
```

**See also**

- [jerry_arraybuffer_detach](#jerry_arraybuffer_detach)

## jerry_arraybuffer_detach

**Summary**

Detach the underlying data block from ArrayBuffer and set its bytelength to 0.

This operation requires the ArrayBuffer to be an external buffer created by
`jerry_arraybuffer_external`.

**Prototype**

```c
jerry_value_t
jerry_arraybuffer_detach (const jerry_value_t value);
```

*Note*: If the ArrayBuffer has been created with `jerry_arraybuffer_external` the optional free callback is called on a successful detach operation

- `value` - ArrayBuffer to be detached
- return
  - null value if success
  - exception otherwise

*New in version 2.2*.

**Example**

```c
{
  uint8_t buf[1];
  jerry_size_t length = 1;
  // create the ArrayBuffer
  jerry_value_t buffer = jerry_arraybuffer (length, buf, NULL);

  jerry_value_t res = jerry_arraybuffer_detach (buffer);

  // release buffer as it is not needed after this point
  jerry_value_free (res);
  jerry_value_free (buffer);
}
```

- [jerry_arraybuffer_is_detachable](#jerry_arraybuffer_is_detachable)

## jerry_arraybuffer_has_buffer

**Summary**

Checks whether a buffer is currently allocated for an array buffer or typed array.

*Notes*:
- This API depends on a build option (`JERRY_BUILTIN_TYPEDARRAY`) and can be checked
  in runtime with the `JERRY_FEATURE_TYPEDARRAY` feature enum value,
  see: [jerry_feature_enabled](#jerry_feature_enabled).

**Prototype**

```c
bool
jerry_arraybuffer_has_buffer (const jerry_value_t value);
```

- `value` - array buffer or typed array value.
- return
  - true, if a buffer is allocated for an array buffer or typed array
  - false, otherwise

*New in version [[NEXT_RELEASE]]*.

**Example**

[doctest]: # (test="compile")

```c
#include "jerryscript.h"

int
main (void)
{
  jerry_init (JERRY_INIT_EMPTY);

  jerry_value_t array_buffer_value = jerry_arraybuffer (1024 * 1024);

  /* By default, the backing store of large array buffers
   * is allocated when it is used the first time. */

  if (!jerry_arraybuffer_has_buffer (array_buffer_value))
  {
    /* Code enters here in this case. */
  }

  jerry_value_free (array_buffer_value);

  jerry_cleanup ();
  return 0;

- [jerry_arraybuffer_allocator](#jerry_arraybuffer_allocator)

## jerry_arraybuffer_heap_allocation_limit

**Summary**

Array buffers which size is less or equal than the limit passed to this
function are allocated in a single memory block. The allocator callbacks set by
[jerry_arraybuffer_set_allocation_callbacks](#jerry_arraybuffer_set_allocation_callbacks)
are not called for these array buffers.

*Notes*:
- This API depends on a build option (`JERRY_BUILTIN_TYPEDARRAY`) and can be checked
  in runtime with the `JERRY_FEATURE_TYPEDARRAY` feature enum value,
  see: [jerry_feature_enabled](#jerry_feature_enabled).
- The default limit is 256 bytes.
- When an array buffer is allocated in a single memory block, its
  backing store is not freed when the array buffer is detached.
- This limit does not affect shared array buffers, their backing store is always
  allocated by the allocator callback.

**Prototype**

```c
void
jerry_arraybuffer_heap_allocation_limit (const jerry_length_t allocation_limit);
```

- `allocation_limit` - maximum size of compact allocation.

*New in version [[NEXT_RELEASE]]*.

**Example**

[doctest]: # (test="compile")

```c
#include "jerryscript.h"

int
main (void)
{
  jerry_init (JERRY_INIT_EMPTY);

  jerry_arraybuffer_heap_allocation_limit (1);

  jerry_value_t array_buffer_value = jerry_arraybuffer (1);

  if (jerry_arraybuffer_has_buffer (array_buffer_value))
  {
    /* Code enters here because the backing store
     * is allocated during buffer creation. */
  }

  jerry_value_free (array_buffer_value);

  array_buffer_value = jerry_arraybuffer (2);

  if (jerry_arraybuffer_has_buffer (array_buffer_value))
  {
    /* Code does not enter here because the backing store
     * is allocated when it is used the first time. */

## jerry_arraybuffer_allocator

**Summary**

Set callbacks for allocating and freeing backing stores for array buffer objects.

*Notes*:
- This API depends on a build option (`JERRY_BUILTIN_TYPEDARRAY`) and can be checked
  in runtime with the `JERRY_FEATURE_TYPEDARRAY` feature enum value,
  see: [jerry_feature_enabled](#jerry_feature_enabled).
- This function is recommended to be called after [jerry_init](#jerry_init) before
  any array buffer is allocated.
- The callbacks can be NULL to use the default callbacks. The default `allocate_callback`
  allocates memory using [jerry_heap_alloc](#jerry_heap_alloc) and the default
  `free_callback` frees memory using [jerry_heap_free](#jerry_heap_free).


**Prototype**

```c
void
jerry_arraybuffer_allocator (jerry_arraybuffer_allocate_cb_t allocate_callback,
                             jerry_arraybuffer_free_cb_t free_callback,
                             void *user_p)
```

- `allocate_callback` - callback for allocating array buffer memory.
- `free_callback` - callback for freeing array buffer memory.
- `user_p` - user pointer passed to the callbacks.

*New in version [[NEXT_RELEASE]]*.

**Example**

[doctest]: # (test="compile")

```c
#include "jerryscript.h"

static uint8_t global_buffer[64];

## jerry_dataview_buffer

**Summary**

Get the ArrayBuffer object used by a DataView object.
Additionally returns the byteLength and byteOffset properties
of the DataView object.

For the returned ArrayBuffer the [jerry_value_free](#jerry_value_free)
must be called when it is no longer needed.

**Prototype**

```c
jerry_value_t
jerry_dataview_buffer (const jerry_value_t value,
                       jerry_length_t *byteOffset,
                       jerry_length_t *byteLength);
```

- `value` - DataView to get the ArrayBuffer from
- `byteOffset` - (Optional) returns the start offset of the ArrayBuffer for the DataView
- `byteLength` - (Optional) returns the number of bytes used from the ArrayBuffer for the DataView
- return
  - DataView object's underlying ArrayBuffer object
  - TypeError if the `value` is not a DataView object

*New in version 2.0*.

**Example**

[doctest]: # ()

```c
#include "jerryscript.h"

int
main (void)
{
  jerry_init (JERRY_INIT_EMPTY);

  jerry_value_t arraybuffer = jerry_arraybuffer (16);
  jerry_value_t dataview = jerry_dataview (arraybuffer, 0, 16);
  jerry_length_t byteOffset = 0;
  jerry_length_t byteLength = 0;
  jerry_value_t buffer = jerry_dataview_buffer (dataview, &byteOffset, &byteLength);

  // buffer is an ArrayBuffer object and ArrayBuffer operations can be performed on it
  // byteOffset is 0
  // byteLength is 16

  // usage of buffer

  jerry_value_free (buffer);
  jerry_value_free (dataview);
  jerry_value_free (arraybuffer);

  jerry_cleanup ();
}
```

## jerry_typedarray_type

**Summary**

Get the type of the TypedArray.

```c
jerry_typedarray_type_t
jerry_typedarray_type (jerry_value_t value);
```

- `value` - TypedArray object to query for type.
- return
  - the type of the TypedArray
  - JERRY_TYPEDARRAY_INVALID if the object was not a TypedArray

*New in version 2.0*.

**Example**

```c
{
  jerry_typedarray_type_t expected_type = JERRY_TYPEDARRAY_UINT32;
  jerry_value_t typedarray = jerry_typedarray (expected_class, 25);

## jerry_typedarray_length

**Summary**

Get the element count of the TypedArray as specified during creation.

This is not the same as the byteLength property of a TypedArray object.

**Prototype**

```
jerry_length_t
jerry_typedarray_length (jerry_value_t value);
```

- `value` - TypedArray object to query
- return
  - length (element count) of the TypedArray object
  - 0 if the object is not a TypedArray

*New in version 2.0*.

**Example**

```c
{
  jerry_value_t array = jerry_typedarray (JERRY_TYPEDARRAY_INT32, 21);

  jerry_length_t element_count = jerry_typedarray_length (array);

## jerry_typedarray_buffer

**Summary**

Get the ArrayBuffer object used by a TypedArray object.
Additionally returns the byteLength and byteOffset properties
of the TypedArray object.

For the returned ArrayBuffer the [jerry_value_free](#jerry_value_free)
must be called.

*Note*: Returned value must be freed with [jerry_value_free](#jerry_value_free) when it
is no longer needed.

**Prototype**

```c
jerry_value_t
jerry_typedarray_buffer (jerry_value_t value,
                         jerry_length_t *byteOffset,
                         jerry_length_t *byteLength);
```

- `value` - TypedArray to get the ArrayBuffer from
- `byteOffset` - (Optional) returns the start offset of the ArrayBuffer for the TypedArray
- `byteLength` - (Optional) returns the number of bytes used from the ArrayBuffer for the TypedArray
- return
  - TypedArray object's underlying ArrayBuffer object
  - TypeError if the `value` is not a TypedArray object

*New in version 2.0*.

**Example**

```c
{
  jerry_value_t array = jerry_typedarray (JERRY_TYPEDARRAY_INT16, 11);

  jerry_length_t byteLength = 0;
  jerry_length_t byteOffset = 0;
  jerry_value_t buffer = jerry_typedarray_buffer (array, &byteOffset, &byteLength);

  // buffer is an ArrayBuffer object and ArrayBuffer operations can be performed on it
  // byteLength is 11 * 2 (2 as the TypedArray stores Int16 that is 2 byte elements)
  // byteOffset is 0

  jerry_value_free (buffer);
  jerry_value_free (array);
}
```

is no longer needed.

**Prototype**

```c
jerry_value_t
jerry_json_parse (const jerry_char_t *string_p,

  /* "obj" now contains and object created from the "data" JSON string. */

  jerry_value_free (obj);

  /* Cleanup engine */
  jerry_cleanup ();

  return 0;
}
```

## jerry_json_stringify

**Summary**

*Note*: Returned value must be freed with [jerry_value_free](#jerry_value_free) when it
is no longer needed.

**Prototype**

```c
jerry_value_t
jerry_json_stringify (const jerry_value_t input_value);
```

- `input_value` - a `jerry_value_t` to stringify.
- return
  - `jerry_value_t` containing a JSON string.
  - exception value in case of any stringification error.

  jerry_init (JERRY_INIT_EMPTY);

  jerry_value_t obj = jerry_object ();
  {
    jerry_value_t key = jerry_string_sz ("name");
    jerry_value_t value = jerry_string_sz ("John");
    jerry_value_free (jerry_object_set (obj, key, value));
    jerry_value_free (key);
    jerry_value_free (value);
  }

  jerry_value_t stringified = jerry_json_stringify (obj);

# Container Functions

## jerry_container_to_array

**Summary**

Return a new array containing elements from a Container, or a Container Iterator. Sets the is_key_value_p to true.
if the container object contains key-value structure and false if not.

*Notes*
- The return value will be an empty array if the Map/Set or Iterator object was empty or finished.
- This API function depends on a build option (`JERRY_BUILTIN_CONTAINER`) and can be checked
  runtime with the `JERRY_FEATURE_MAP, JERRY_FEATURE_SET, JERRY_FEATURE_WEAKMAP, JERRY_FEATURE_WEAKSET`
  feature enum values.
  see: [jerry_feature_enabled](#jerry_feature_enabled).
- The es.next profile enables this by default.

*New in version [[NEXT_RELEASE]]*.

**Prototype**

```c
jerry_value_t
jerry_container_to_array(jerry_value_t value,
                         bool *is_key_value_p);
```

- `value` - Map/Set or iterator object
- `is_key_value` - Will be set to `true` if the given container has key-value pairs, `false` otherwise.
- return value
  - jerry_value_t containing an array of values from the Map/Set or iterator object
  - exception if the `value` is nor a Container or a Container Iterator.
  - `undefined` if the `value` is undefined/null.
**Example**

[doctest]: # ()

```c
#include "jerryscript.h"
int
main (void)
{
  jerry_init (JERRY_INIT_EMPTY);

  jerry_char_t src[] = "var map = new Map(); map.set(1,2); map.entries()";
  jerry_value_t iterable = jerry_eval (src, sizeof (src) - 1, JERRY_PARSE_NO_OPTS);

  bool is_key_value_container = false;
  jerry_value_t buffer_from_map = jerry_container_to_array (iterable, &is_key_value_container);

  /*
    The buffer_from_map contains two elements: 1 and 2, which is the key/value pair of the only item in the set.
    is_key_value set to true, as the original is a key-value structure (a Map Iterator)
  */

  jerry_value_free (iterable);
  jerry_value_free (buffer_from_map);

  jerry_cleanup ();

  return 0;
