Interface ScriptEngine

All Known Implementing Classes:
AbstractScriptEngine

public interface ScriptEngine
ScriptEngine is the fundamental interface whose methods must be fully functional in every implementation of this specification.

These methods provide basic scripting functionality. Applications written to this simple interface are expected to work with minimal modifications in every implementation. It includes methods that execute scripts, and ones that set and get values.

The values are key/value pairs of two types. The first type of pairs consists of those whose keys are reserved and defined in this specification or by individual implementations. The values in the pairs with reserved keys have specified meanings.

The other type of pairs consists of those that create Java language Bindings, the values are usually represented in scripts by the corresponding keys or by decorated forms of them.
