+The <literal>ngx_stream_js_module</literal> module is used to
+implement handlers in JavaScript.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+This module is not built by default, it should be compiled with
+nginx JavaScript module using the
+<literal>--add_module</literal> configuration parameter:
+<example>
+./configure --add-module=<value>path-to-njs</value>/nginx
+</example>
+The <link url="http://hg.nginx.org/njs">repository</link>
+with nginx JavaScript module can be cloned with the following command
+(requires <link url="https://www.mercurial-scm.org">Mercurial</link> client):
+<example>
+hg clone http://hg.nginx.org/njs
+</example>
+This module can also be built as
+<link doc="../ngx_core_module.xml" id="load_module">dynamic</link>:
+<example>
+./configure --add-dynamic_module=<value>path-to-njs</value>/nginx
+</example>
