Microsoft made heart of Edge as an open source.


           Microsoft released its latest operating system #Windows 10 with the much more powerful browser in the name of #Microsoft Edge. It is being liked by many users due to its rendering speed. Recently Microsoft is going to made the heart of Edge as an open source.

            Microsoft's Edge has a Javascript engine in the name of #Chakra that powers the whole Edge browser and also some applications in the xbox and also in Windows 10.

             Chakra is going to be made as an open source but Microsoft is gonna reveal it as #Chakracore and the code will be available in GitHub under the MIT open source license scheme.

              Chakra actually is the combination of the COM which powers the windows 10 and so the private components will remain hidden and the Chakra JS engine will be available in GitHub in the name of #Chakracore.

               Chakracore will provide many functionalities such as

The parser
The Interpreter
JIT compiler (Just In Time)
Garbage Collector
API to integrate into applications.

              It is really a big decision by the giant and this will power IoT (Internet of Things) projects well as it can be intergrated with the devices.

P.S :  The post is to create awareness and not to be misused.
