Is there an easy way to embed a Javascript interpreter in a C# application?

Question

Is there an easy way to embed Javascript in a C# application?

I want to make my C# application scriptable.

I have used Lua for this in the past but would like to use Javascript in this instance. LuaInterface is a nice C# wrapper for the C Lua API and it made it really easy to embed Lua in C# and a lot less painful than writing a Managed C++ wrapper for the Lua API (I have tried that as well).

Are there any C# libraries around for embedding Javascript that are as easy to use as LuaInterface?

I've added a link to something that looks similar. But I wonder whether IronPython would be another option? — Marc Gravell

Thanks, IronPython sounds interesting. This question is a duplicate. — Ashley Davis

You may consider working with the DLR (Dynamic Language Runtime).

Managed JScript is built on the top of DLR (can't insert second link as I'm a new user):

Managed JScript would be great, but it sounds like it is no longer available: stackoverflow.com/questions/775339/…
