JavaFX Scripting Language
II. JavaFX Scripting Language
JavaFX Script is specifically designed to optimize the creative process of building rich and compelling UIs leveraging Java Swing, Java 2D and Java 3D for developers and content authors.
In layman style - JavaFX
lets you enjoy a consistence user experience irrespective of whatever device
you are currently online with, whether you are sitting in front of your
desktop, whiling away commuting time with
your PDAs, or relaxing at home.
JavaFX Script is a highly
productive scripting language for content developers to create rich media and
interactive content for deployment on Java environments. Since JavaFX Script
is statically typed, it has the same code structuring, reuse, and
encapsulation features that make it possible to create and maintain very
large programs using Java technology. It gives Java developers the power to
quickly create content-rich applications for the widest variety of clients,
including mobile devices, set-top boxes, desktops, even Blu-ray discs.
Content creators now have a simple way to develop content for any Java
Powered consumer device.
With
JavaFX, the start-ups, enterprises and developers are free from issues like
local installation and
performance degradation, they can now quickly develop and deploy new secure
services for a variety of clients. This is going to simplify the development
of RIAs running across a range
of platforms.
JavaFX technologies being built around open standards, offer consistency for
apps and services across different platforms.
Applications written with
JavaFX Script have WORA (write-once-run-anywhere ) features and application
security support with enterprise connectivity.
JavaFX Script is easier to understand and maintain, above all the structure of the written code closely matches the actual layout of the GUI. JavaFX Script enables rapid development of rich 2D interfaces in an easy fashion.
JavaFX Script offers an
advantage of the Java security model so that the consumers can have a secure
access to the assets (e.g., pictures, music files, word documents) on their
desktop.
The write once, run anywhere portability of Java technology has helped to make it the world's most widely deployed application platform.
Features:
- JavaFX Script is
going to work with all major IDEs, including NetBeans.
- JavaFX Script is
capable of supporting GUIs of any size or complexity
- JavaFX Script makes
it easier to use Swing, one of the best GUI development
toolkits of its kind.
- JavaFX Script uses a
declarative syntax for specifying GUI components, so a
developer's code closely matches the actual layout of the
GUI.
- Through declarative
data-binding and incremental evaluation, JavaFX Script
enables developers to easily create and configure individual
components by automatically synchronizing application data
and GUI components.
Benefits with JavaFX Script
- Increases developer
productivity
- Zero loss of
functionality across devices
- Requires less code
- Enables faster
development cycles
- Offers an intuitive
language design
