Which popular libraries for a standalone JavaScript interpreter (jslibs) ?

Question

I am working on a standalone JavaScript development runtime environment for using JavaScript as a general-purpose scripting language.

Currently I support the following libraries: zlib, SQLite, FastCGI, NSPR (Netscape Portable Runtime), ODE (Open Dynamics Engine), libpng, libjpeg, librsvg, freetype, librsvg, SDL, libiconv, OpenGL, OpenAL, ogg vorbis, libTomCrypt, libffi (Foreign function interface).

Now I am looking for other useful libraries to bind to my project.

Answer 1

Graphical: wxWidgets, QT Text Manipulation: GNU Aspell

Just google for popular libraries. Believe me, you'll find a plenty of them ;)

Answer 2

Lots of graphics stuff in there. How about cairo?

Answer 3

Add data storage libraries (RMDB, flat files, XML) and some window libraries (QT)

Answer 4

Definitely something to handle file paths, to abstract path separation characters, check file existence, size and so on (aka stat), file permissions and/or ACLs Basically something like the Perl File:: modules.
