JavaScript mode supports several configuration options:

json which will set the mode to expect JSON data rather than a JavaScript program.
jsonld which will set the mode to expect JSON-LD linked data rather than a JavaScript program (demo).
typescript which will activate additional syntax highlighting and some other things for TypeScript code (demo).
statementIndent which (given a number) will determine the amount of indentation to use for statements continued on a new line.
wordCharacters, a regexp that indicates which characters should be considered part of an identifier. Defaults to /[\w$]/, which does not handle non-ASCII identifiers. Can be set to something more elaborate to improve Unicode support.
