![Is It Possible to Stop Javascript Execution? [Duplicate]](https://docuprint.cloud68.co/uploads/is-it-possible-to-stop-javascript-execution_1200.jpg)
Is it possible in some way to stop or terminate JavaScript in a way that it prevents any further JavaScript-based execution from occuring, without reloading the browser?
I am thinking of a JavaScript equivalent of exit() in PHP.

Short answer:
throw new Error("Something went badly wrong!");

Do you want to stop JavaScript's execution for developing/debugging?
The expression debugger; in your code, will halt the page execution, and then your browser's developer tools will allow you to review the state of your page at the moment it was frozen.
