If you are interested in processing Javascript on the server, there is a new open source library called Jint that allows you to execute server side Javascript. Basically it is a Javascript interpreter written in C#. I have been testing it and so far it looks quite promising.

Here's the description from the site:

Differences with other script engines:

Jint is different as it doesn't use CodeDomProvider technique which is using compilation under the hood and thus leads to memory leaks as the compiled assemblies can't be unloaded. Moreover, using this technique prevents using dynamically types variables the way JavaScript does, allowing more flexibility in your scripts. On the opposite, Jint embeds it's own parsing logic, and really interprets the scripts. Jint uses the famous ANTLR (http://www.antlr.org) library for this purpose. As it uses Javascript as its language you don't have to learn a new language, it has proven to be very powerful for scripting purposes, and you can use several text editors for syntax checking.
