Control LED's, Servos, Switches, and more with J5e. It runs onboard microcontrollers like the ESP8266 or ESP32. Your code is 100% JavaScript. It does not require node.js, a host server or an SBC to host the app.
J5e is a device framework built upon [ECMA-419](https://www.ecma-international.org/publications-and-standards/standards/ecma-419/), the Embedded Systems API Specification for ECMAScript. ECMA-419 provides a standard interface for accessing underlying hardware interfaces (GPIO). J5e's API is based on the [Johnny-Five](https://github.com/rwaldron.johnny-five) API which has been battle tested over quite some time.
Currently, the only provider that conforms to ECMA-419 is [Moddable's IO module for XS](https://github.com/Moddable-OpenSource/moddable/blob/public/documentation/io/io.md) which runs on the ESP32 and ESP8266. Hopefully, we will see more soon.
