## Component Details

This graph illustrates the architecture of the JavaScript Interpreter subsystem within youtube-dl. The `JS Interpreter Core` is the central component responsible for executing JavaScript code, relying on `JS Operator Implementations` for arithmetic and logical operations, `JS Built-in Object Simulation` for emulating native JS objects, and `JS Control Flow Exceptions` for handling control flow. `JS Debugging and Utilities` aids in the development and monitoring of the interpreter. The `YouTube Extractor` is a primary consumer of the `JS Interpreter Core`, using it to de-obfuscate video URLs and extract dynamic information from YouTube pages. Both the interpreter and the extractor leverage general utilities provided by `youtube_dl.utils` and the base extractor functionalities from `youtube_dl.extractor.common.InfoExtractor`.

### JS Interpreter Core
This component is the central part of the JavaScript interpreter, responsible for parsing, interpreting, and executing JavaScript statements and expressions. It manages the execution flow, variable scopes, and handles various JavaScript constructs like assignments, function calls, control flow statements (if, for, while, switch), and object/array manipulations.
