jscx: JS to C/C# Transpiler

0.0.0 verified Fri May 01 auth: no javascript

jscx is a JavaScript to C/C# transpiler that converts JavaScript code into C or C# source files. As of version 0.0.0, the project is in an extremely early pre-release stage with minimal functionality. Release cadence is unknown due to the nascent state. Unlike other transpilers like Emscripten or TypeScript-to-C# converters, jscx targets direct translation from a limited subset of JavaScript to C-family languages. Key differentiators are not yet established; the tool is experimental and should not be used in production.

Common errors

error Error: Input file not found: ./in.js ↓

cause The specified input file does not exist or path is incorrect.

Warnings

breaking jscx is version 0.0.0 with no stable release; API and behavior may change without notice. ↓

fix Do not rely on this tool for production; expect breaking changes in future versions.

gotcha The CLI command is 'jscx' not 'jscs'; using 'jscs' will fail. ↓

fix Use 'jscx' as the command for transpilation.

Install

npm install jscx

pnpm add jscx

Imports

jscx (CLI command)
```
jscx ./in.js ./out.cs
```
Use as a global CLI tool via npm install -g jscx; no programmatic API exposed yet.

Quickstart

Installs jscx globally and transpiles a basic recursive factorial function from JavaScript to a .cs C# file.

npm install -g jscx
# Create a simple JS file
echo 'function factorial(n) { if (n <= 1) return 1; return n * factorial(n-1); }' > in.js
# Transpile to C#
jscx in.js out.cs
cat out.cs
