Is this JavaScript similar to the JavaScript used in browsers or is it a subset?

Post your code.

I don't know here's some of the code coz it's too long

var thisDoc = app.activeDocument;
var artLayer = thisDoc.layers.add()
app.defaultStroked = false;
app.defaultFilled = true;
 
var blueRect = artLayer.pathItems.rectangle( 595, 263.741, 153.03, 339.825);
var darkBlueRect = artLayer.pathItems.rectangle( 595, 372.831, 43.94, 340.156);
var border = artLayer.pathItems.rectangle( 595, 190, 226.771, 340.156);
var rect1 = artLayer.pathItems.rectangle( 577, 215, 201.5, 1);
var ellipse1 = artLayer.pathItems.ellipse( 579.5, 211, 6, 6, false, true );
var ellipse2 = artLayer.pathItems.ellipse( 568, 265, 6, 6, false, true );
var ellipse3 = artLayer.pathItems.ellipse( 513, 265, 6, 6, false, true );
