Scripting in Java Languages
Java is an excellent object-oriented programming language. It has provided many benefits to software developers, including a good object-oriented approach, implicit memory management, and dynamic linking, among others. These language characteristics are one of the main reasons for Java’s popularity and wide acceptance. But Java is much more than a programming language; it’s a whole development platform. This means that it comes with a runtime environment (JRE), which provides the virtual machine, and the standardized application programming interfaces (APIs) that help developers accomplish most of their desired tasks. The main advantages of this integrated runtime environment are its true platform independence and simplification of software development. On the other hand, scripting languages have played an important role in the information technology infrastructure for many years. They have been used for all kinds of tasks, ranging from job automation to prototyping and implementation of complex software projects. Therefore, we can conclude that the Java development platform can also benefit from scripting concepts and languages. Java developers can use scripting languages in areas proven to be most suitable for this technology. This synergy of the Java platform and scripting languages, as we will see, adds an extra quality to the overall software development process. In this book, I describe the concepts behind scripting languages, summarize solutions available to Java developers, and explore use cases and design patterns for applying scripting languages in Java applications.
