Transparent Object Proxies for JavaScript (Artifact)

Authors: Matthias Keil, Sankha Narayan Guria, Andreas Schlegel, Manuel Geffken, and Peter Thiemann

Published in: DARTS, Volume 1, Issue 1, Special Issue of the 29th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2015)


Abstract
This artifact provides two prototype extensions of the SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine. Both extensions implement alternative designs for transparent proxies that are better suited for use cases such as certain contract wrappers and access restricting membranes. The first prototype extends the proxy handler by an isTransparent trap that regulates the proxy's transparency. The second prototype implements a new global object TransparentProxy that implements the constructor for transparent proxy objects.

Transparent Object Proxies in JavaScript

Authors: Matthias Keil, Sankha Narayan Guria, Andreas Schlegel, Manuel Geffken, and Peter Thiemann

Abstract
Proxies are the swiss army knives of object adaptation. They introduce a level of indirection to intercept select operations on a target object and divert them as method calls to a handler. Proxies have many uses like implementing access control, enforcing contracts, virtualizing resources. One important question in the design of a proxy API is whether a proxy object should inherit the identity of its target. Apparently proxies should have their own identity for security-related applications whereas other applications, in particular contract systems, require transparent proxies that compare equal to their target objects. We examine the issue with transparency in various use cases for proxies, discuss different approaches to obtain transparency, and propose two designs that require modest modifications in the JavaScript engine and cannot be bypassed by the programmer. We implement our designs in the SpiderMonkey JavaScript interpreter and bytecode compiler. Our evaluation shows that these modifications of have no statistically significant impact on the benchmark performance of the JavaScript engine. Furthermore, we demonstrate that contract systems based on wrappers require transparent proxies to avoid interference with program execution in realistic settings.
