Overview
While the Servoy platform is based entirely in Java, one does not need to write ANY Java during the course of development or deployment.
Instead, all business logic is implemented using Javascript. Javascript was selected because it is an internet standard, easy to learn and as such, the most widely used scripting language on the planet. Javascript is far more productive than coding in pure Java and Servoy provides robust APIs with which to quickly and easily implement business logic.
Note
Developers who are familiar with Javascript may cite issues with browser support and speed of execution. It is worth noting that Servoy does not deploy any Javascript. All code written in Servoy is deployed using Mozilla's Rhino project, which is an open-source, Java-based Javascript implementation. This means that:
- All methods are executing in Java (orders of magnitude faster than interpreted Javascript)
- No business logic is ever exposed or executed in the browser, thereby eliminating browser support issues.
