JavaScript library for logic programming [closed]

Question

Do you know of any good javascript library for logic programming?

I'm interested in something like jsprolog, but I want to use javascript to communicate with the lib, and not a different language (such as prolog in this case).

Many thanks.

Answer 1

There are a bunch of other languages that compile to javascript: https://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script/wiki/List-of-languages-that-compile-to-JS

It is possible (although not probable!) one of those has a javascript friendly API AND a suitable library that can by "compiled" into JavaScript.

Exactly what you aren't looking for, and probably a time waster :)

Answer 2

Please check out (JSL) https://www.npmjs.com/package/lib-jsl.

From the overview document, JSL is a JSON based logic programming library meant for embedded use in JS programs. It uses JSON as its syntax as well as I/O method

Answer 3

There is a new tool, a generic compiler adding any effect to JS, including logic programming, there is an example of prolog append: https://github.com/awto/mfjs-samples/tree/master/unify

Answer 4

In addition to jsprolog, there are several JavaScript libraries for logic programming:

• chr.js is a constraint logic programming library for JavaScript. It is an implementation of the Constraint Handling Rules programming language.

• There are several JavaScript implementations of Datalog such as DataScript.

• Yield Prolog allows Prolog programs to be embedded directly in JavaScript. This is especially useful because it allows JavaScript functions to be used in Prolog predicates, and vice-versa.

• LogicJS is a JavaScript library that is based on MiniKanRen, which has been implemented in many programming languages, including JavaScript.

• JavaScript-Logic-Programming-System is another logic programming system for JavaScript.

• There is another Prolog implementation that was written in less than 200 lines of JavaScript code.

Of course, there are also several C++ libraries for logic programming that could be automatically ported into JavaScript using Emscripten.
