Notes:
We use DukTape, an embeddable Javascript engine, with a focus on portability and compact footprint.
https://duktape.org
Your own JavaScript engine is useful for:
- Running some snippet of JavaScript code without HTMLViewer.
- Using various JavaScript libraries
- Providing a scripting language to your own application.
- An lightweight alternative to XojoScript.
- Working with JSON data
- Enjoy using regular expressions, unicode text functions, number parsing and formatting with no platform dependencies
MBS Plugin added Input(), Yield() and Print() functions for your convenience.
Yield will pass CPU control to other threads, so background tasks continue to run.
MBS Plugin can convert JavaScript values to variant.
Boolean -> Boolean
Number -> Double
String -> String
Buffer -> MemoryBlock
Pointer -> Ptr
Array -> Variant array
Object -> JSON string
null -> nil
We convert variant to JavaScript:
nil -> null
Int32, Int64, Single, Double, Currency -> Number
Boolean -> Boolean
String, Text, Date -> String
Ptr -> Pointer
all other -> undefined
