Comment by Gijo Varghese on "What is the basic difference between ECMAScript and Javascript?"

JavaScript was invented by Brendan Eich in 1995, and became an ECMA standard in 1997. ECMA-262 is the official name of the standard. ECMAScript is the official name of the language.

Is Javascript exactly the same as ECMAScript?

No, Javascript is not exactly equivalent to ECMAScript.

The core features of Javascript are based on the ECMAScript standard, but
Javascript also has other additional features that are not in the ECMA specifications/standard.

JavaScript = ECMAScript + DOM API;

DOM API like: document.getElementById('id');
