About quickjs

QuickJS DuckDB Extension

This extension provides an embedded QuickJS-NG engine for DuckDB. It allows executing JavaScript code directly within your SQL queries.

QuickJS-NG is a small, fast, and embeddable JavaScript engine that supports modern JavaScript features including ES2020.

This extension is experimental and potentially unstable. Do not use it in production.
