Microsoft.ClearScript.Core

Description

ClearScript is a library that makes it easy to add scripting to your .NET applications. It currently supports JavaScript (via V8 and JScript) and VBScript.

Features

• Simple usage; create a script engine, add your objects and/or types, run scripts
• Support for several script engines: Google's V8, Microsoft's JScript and VBScript
• Exposed resources require no modification, decoration, or special coding of any kind
• Scripts get simple access to most of the features of exposed objects and types:
  • Methods, properties, fields, events
  • (Objects) Indexers, extension methods, conversion operators, explicitly implemented interfaces
  • (Types) Constructors, nested types
• Full support for generic types and methods, including C#-like type inference and explicit type arguments
• Exposed .NET collections support native script iteration mechanisms:
  • for...of and for await...of
  • Enumerator
  • For Each...Next
• Scripts can invoke methods with output parameters, optional parameters, and parameter arrays
• Script delegates enable callbacks into script code
• Support for exposing all the types defined in one or more assemblies in one step
• Optional support for importing types and assemblies from script code
• The host can invoke script functions and access script objects directly
• Full support for script debugging
• Support for fast data transfer to and from JavaScript typed arrays
• Support for JavaScript modules
• Support for CommonJS modules
• Automatic conversion between .NET BigInteger and JavaScript BigInt.
• Optional automatic conversion between .NET DateTime and JavaScript Date.
