Standards
SpiderMonkey implements ECMA-262 edition 5 (ECMAScript), along with ECMA-357 (ECMAScript for XML (E4X)) and several added features. Although E4X support is still present, SpiderMonkey no longer allows E4X syntax when running in ECMAScript 5 "strict mode", and developers plan to remove support for E4X.
Even though SpiderMonkey is used in Firefox, it does not provide host environments such as Document Object Model (DOM).

Famous quotes containing the word standards:
“The things a man has to have are hope and confidence in himself against odds, and sometimes he needs somebody, his pal or his mother or his wife or God, to give him that confidence. He’s got to have some inner standards worth fighting for or there won’t be any way to bring him into conflict. And he must be ready to choose death before dishonor without making too much song and dance about it. That’s all there is to it.”
—Clark Gable (1901–1960)
“The technologist was the final guise of the white missionary, industrialization the last gospel of a dying race and living standards a substitute for a purpose in living.”
—Max Frisch (1911–1991)
“That’s the great danger of sectarian opinions, they always accept the formulas of past events as useful for the measurement of future events and they never are, if you have high standards of accuracy.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
