ECMAScript:

ECMAScript, short for European Computer Manufacturers Association Script, is a scripting language based on JavaScript that meets the ECMA-262 standard. ECMA, like other scripting languages, enriches and enlivens Web pages, but is the only scripting language on the Web based on a standard (the ECMA-262 specification, which outlines an object-oriented programming language that performs computations and manipulates objects within a host environment, such as the browser).
