GraalJS is an ECMAScript-compliant runtime to execute JavaScript and Node.js applications.
It is fully standard-compliant, executes applications with high performance, and provides all benefits from the GraalVM stack, including language interoperability and common tooling.
GraalJS version 25.0.1 is designed for use with Oracle GraalVM 25.0.1 or GraalVM Community Edition 25.0.1, and can be downloaded separately.
There are two standalone types to choose from:
- Native Standalone: This contains a Native Image compiled launcher
- JVM Standalone: This contains JavaScript in the JVM configuration
To distinguish between them, the GraalVM Community Edition version has the suffix -community in its name. A JVM standalone has a -jvm suffix in its name.

† Support for macOS x64 is deprecated. Version 25.0.1 is the last release that supports this hardware architecture. In future, GraalVM will only support macOS on AArch64 (Apple Silicon).
