Calling JavaScript from C++

I have a JavaScript class, that I don't want to port to C++ as it is too huge and complicated. Is Is there any way in which I could call JavaScript functions from inside my C++ code.

You could embed a JavaScript engine, such as V8. It's a pretty (very) big overhead though. Unless you have a specific need, it would probably be better to just port your code.

You can use the V8 library to call JavaScript code from C++.

Unless you have a very specific requirement that forces you to do this, this would be a very bad idea. It'll have a terrible overhead (in terms of execution speed and memory usage). You should seriously consider porting your Javascript code to C++.
