JScript

JScript 10.0 is a modern scripting language with a wide variety of applications. It is a true object-oriented language, and yet it still keeps its "scripting" feel. JScript 10.0 maintains full backwards compatibility with previous versions of JScript, while incorporating great new features and providing access to the common language runtime and .NET Framework.

JScript 10.0 is used for applications that run on the server by using the .NET Framework. For information about writing scripts that run on the client computer in a Web browser, see JScript (Windows Script Technologies).

The following topics introduce the essential components of JScript 10.0 and provide information about how to use the language. As with any modern programming language, JScript supports a number of common programming constructs and language elements.
