Seed is a JavaScript interpreter and a library of the GNOME project to create standalone applications in JavaScript.
It uses the JavaScript engine JavaScriptCore of the WebKit project. It is possible to easily create modules in C.
Seed is integrated in GNOME since the 2.28 version [2] .
Seed is used by two games of the GNOME Games package and by Epiphany for the design of its extensions.
