EcmaScript?

JavaScript

Hi people,

Just few basics questions regarding EcmaScript.

Is EcmaScript the mother of JavaScript?
Correct me If I’m wrong.

And the current latest version of EcmaScript is version 5 ?
Correct me again if I’m wrong.

Thanks in advance.

Javascript is an implementation of ECMAScript (as is JScript and apparently ActionScript)

i think netscape is the mother of javascript. and ECMA script is a daughter, after it was released to ECMA by nescape/mozilla. there are dozens of cousins as well. it’s quite a large family.

EcmaScript is widely used for client-side scripting, several well-known based on EcmaScript is JavaScript(Netscape) JScript(Microsoft). It is invented by Brendan Eich who is woking in Netscape and the first edition for Netscape Navigator browser.
