What does ASI mean?

What are the rules for Javascript's automatic semicolon insertion?

I read an article discussing the semicolons in Javascript, and its author spoke about the ASI.

I don’t know what he’s talking about. Can anyone can explain it to me?

Thanks.

Did the article use the term ASI without first defining it? Do you have a link? — user113716, Oct 04 '11 at 16:45
