Editing Rhino (JavaScript engine) (section)

== Use ==
Rhino converts JavaScript scripts into [[class (computer programming)|classes]]. Rhino works in both [[compiler|compiled]] and [[interpreter (computing)|interpreted]] mode. It is intended to be used in desktop or [[server-side]] applications, hence there is no built-in support for the [[Web browser]] objects that are commonly associated with JavaScript.

Rhino can be used as a [[debugger]] by using the Rhino [[command line interface|shell]]. The JavaScript shell provides a simple way to run scripts in batch mode or within an interactive environment for exploratory programming. It can be used in applications by embedding Rhino.

A slightly modified version of Rhino 1.6r2 comes [[software bundling|bundled]] with the [[Sun Microsystems]] release of [[Java SE]] version 6, which was released in December 2006. This makes it easier to integrate JavaScript as part of Java programs and to access Java resources from JavaScript. Other implementations of Java 6 may differ.
