Java Script
JavaScript (JS)
is a dynamic computer programming
language. It
is most commonly used as part of web
browsers,
whose implementations allowclient-side
scripts to interact
with the user,
control the browser, communicate asynchronously,
and alter the document
content that
is displayed. It is also being used in server-side programming, game
development and the creation of desktop and mobile applications.
JavaScript is a prototype-based scripting
language with dynamic typing
and has first-class
functions.
Its syntax was
influenced by C.
JavaScript copies many names and naming conventions from Java,
but the two languages are otherwise unrelated and have very different
semantics. The key design principles within JavaScript are taken from
the Self and Scheme programming
languages. It is a multi-paradigm language,
supporting object-oriented, imperative,
and functional programming
styles.
The application of
JavaScript to use outside of web pages—for example, in PDF documents, site-specific
browsers,
and desktop
widgets—is
also significant.
