'''Isomorphic JavaScript''', also known as '''Universal JavaScript''', describes [[JavaScript]] applications which run both on the [[Client (computing)|client]] and the [[Server (computing)|server]].

== Name ==
The naming of the term 'Isomorphic JavaScript' has been a matter of controversy.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=http://2ality.com/2015/08/isomorphic-javascript.html|title=Is "Isomorphic JavaScript" a good term?|website=2ality|access-date=2017-06-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170621091912/http://2ality.com/2015/08/isomorphic-javascript.html|archive-date=2017-06-21|url-status=live}}</ref> The term 'isomorphic' was first coined by Charlie Robbins from [[Nodejitsu]], in one of the company's blog posts.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://blog.nodejitsu.com/scaling-isomorphic-javascript-code/|title=Scaling Isomorphic Javascript Code {{!}} Nodejitsu Inc.|last=Inc.|first=Nodejitsu|website=blog.nodejitsu.com|access-date=2017-06-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170703210112/https://blog.nodejitsu.com/scaling-isomorphic-javascript-code/|archive-date=2017-07-03|url-status=live}}</ref> Spike Brehm, a software engineer from [[Airbnb]], wrote another blog post using the same term.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://medium.com/airbnb-engineering/isomorphic-javascript-the-future-of-web-apps-10882b7a2ebc|title=Isomorphic JavaScript: The Future of Web Apps|last=AirbnbEng|date=2013-11-11|website=Airbnb Engineering & Data Science|access-date=2017-06-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170617233510/https://medium.com/airbnb-engineering/isomorphic-javascript-the-future-of-web-apps-10882b7a2ebc|archive-date=2017-06-17|url-status=live}}</ref> However, others have proposed to use the term Universal JavaScript instead.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://medium.com/@mjackson/universal-javascript-4761051b7ae9|title=Universal JavaScript|date=2015-06-08|website=Michael Jackson|access-date=2017-06-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170621140654/https://medium.com/@mjackson/universal-javascript-4761051b7ae9|archive-date=2017-06-21|url-status=live}}</ref>

== Frameworks ==
There have been several isomorphic JavaScript frameworks and libraries created, most notably [http://haskell-miso.org/ Miso] and [[Meteor (web framework)|Meteor]] (framework). Others include [[Next.js]], [[Nuxt]], [https://kit.svelte.dev/ Sveltekit], [https://rendrjs.github.io/ Rendr], [http://derbyjs.com/ Derby], [http://ezeljs.com/ Ezel] and [https://catberry.github.io/ Catberry].{{citation needed|date=April 2019}}
