How do I parse javascript code in Jint interpreter?

I want to make sure javascript code is valid syntax:

string test = " var i = 0; ";
Jint.Engine ScrptingEngine = new Jint.Engine();
bool result = ScrptingEngine.Parse(test);

What about calling the JavaScriptParser?

Esprima.JavaScriptParser parser = new Esprima.JavaScriptParser(script);
parser.ParseScript();

When you add Jint to your project, you also get the Esprima namespace, and this is what Jint uses internally anyway (if I read the source correctly).

Then you can catch an Esprima.ParserException.

If you add the script to a object it should not run any of the code.

var myscript = @"
var badFunction = function(){/* please don't run this*/ } 
badFunction ();"

new Engine().Execute("var noRun = {" + myscript + "}");

There is no guarantees though that the script itself doesn't break the object incapsulation.

You can use the Execute() method to "parse" your JavaScript and the GetValue() method to retrieve the value and then assert that it works as intended.

string test = " var i = 0; ";
Jint.Engine ScrptingEngine = new Jint.Engine();
var result = ScrptingEngine.Execute(test).GetValue("i");
Assert.AreEqual(0, result);

In addition, the Execute method will also throw a JavaScriptException if the JavaScript is invalid:

try
{
    ScrptingEngine.Execute("xx = ss == esfx = fuct()"); 
}
catch(JavaScriptException ex) {}
