US Patent 10949179 Generating asynchronous runtime compatibility in JavaScript applications

Methods and computer-readable media are disclosed herein for generating asynchronous runtime compatible applications from non-asynchronous applications. In embodiments, source code for the application that is not compatible with asynchronous processing is examined. The source code is parsed in order to identify unsafe functions that will cause failures of the application when processed in an asynchronous runtime. The source code corresponding to those unsafe functions is modified by adding asynchronous functions and commands to the source code and restructuring the source code. The modified source code may then be provided to an asynchronous runtime environment as the application is now compatible with asynchronous processing.
