The record

Purpose: Js_of_ocaml compiles OCaml bytecode programs to JavaScript so they can run in browsers and Node.js.
No recompiling libraries: It works with an existing OCaml installation and does not require recompiling libraries.
Browser bindings: The project includes bindings for a large part of browser APIs.
JavaScript interop: Its library provides a typed interface for bridging differences between OCaml and JavaScript values.
Build integration: Dune supports js_of_ocaml natively and selects separate compilation in dev and whole-program compilation in release builds.
Libraries: The distribution includes packages for Lwt support, TyXML, JSON derivation, and running an OCaml toplevel in the browser.
Runtime targets: Generated JavaScript is documented to work with Node.js 18 or later, modern ES2020 browsers, and QuickJS-NG.
Requirements: The documented compiler requirements include OCaml 4.13 to 5.5, Dune 3.20 or later, and Menhir.
Optimization: Whole-program compilation performs global dead-code elimination and cross-module optimizations to produce smaller and faster output.
Limits: Most of the Sys module is unsupported, extra OCaml libraries such as Thread are generally unsupported, and tail calls are not optimized in general.
Security and compliance: The project pages reviewed do not state a security certification or compliance claim.
Support: The project asks users to report problems or questions through GitHub issues and include version details and a minimal reproducible example when possible.
License: The repository lists GPL-2.0-or-later and LGPL-2.1-or-later with the OCaml linking exception as its licenses.
Performance: The project says its benchmarks show generated programs typically run faster than with the OCaml bytecode interpreter.
