JavaScript relies on powerful engines and interfaces like the V8 engine, JavaScript APIs, and the XMLHttpRequest (XHR) object in host environments.The V8 engine, developed by Google, compiles and executes JavaScript code, including features like JIT compilation and garbage collection.JavaScript APIs provided by host environments like web browsers offer functionalities such as DOM manipulation, timers, networking, and storage.XMLHttpRequest (XHR) is a browser API that enables asynchronous HTTP requests, with modern alternatives like the fetch() API also gaining popularity.
