JavaScript OSA
open-in-new
<p> JavaScript OSA, (originally <i>JavaScript for OSA</i>, abbreviated as <i>JSOSA</i>), is a <a href="/facts/Freeware/c8oGA9ju">freeware</a> <a href="/facts/Inter-process_communication/cIQYyT6y">inter-process communication</a> <a href="/facts/Scripting_language/8pF4ajBL">scripting language</a> for the <a href="/facts/Macintosh_computer/8GhnXTK0">Macintosh computer</a>. </p><p>JavaScript OSA uses the "core language" of the <a href="/facts/Mozilla/FevL9Itn">Mozilla</a> implementation of the <a href="/facts/JavaScript/XhhIIEsl">JavaScript</a> <a href="/facts/Programming_language/cWTYbgWa">programming language</a>, (see <a href="/facts/SpiderMonkey/YosPe1Bv">SpiderMonkey</a>). The language is used as an alternative to the <a href="/facts/AppleScript/cc3rc4wD">AppleScript</a> language. Its use is unrelated to <a href="/facts/Web_browser/2pfyymLs">web browser</a>-based scripting. It can be seen as having a similar function to <a href="/facts/Microsoft/nGIDDXdx">Microsoft</a>'s <a href="/facts/JScript_.NET/BvBS09IC">JScript .NET</a> language on Windows machines, although there is no interoperability between the two languages' system-level scripting. </p>
