Description
JavaScript is a versatile, high-level programming language that is primarily used for adding interactivity, dynamic content, and complex functionality to web pages. It runs in the browser, allowing web developers to create engaging and interactive user experiences. JavaScript can also be used on the server side, with environments like React.js.
