Object Oriented Programming in JavaScript by Java2Script

Posted on March 9, 2006 by Zhou Renjian

Summary

It’s well-known that JavaScript is a prototype based or object based scripting language not a complete Object Oriented Programming (OOP) language as Java, which is a well-known and most-succeeded OOP language. As AJAX applications boosting, lots of JavaScript inheritance systems are developing to make codes more readable, more manageable and more developer-friendly. However, polymorphism and super method calling, which are two most important features for OOP, are not implemented or not fully implemented. In this article, a new library will be introduced for JavaScript to simulate a complete Object Oriented Programming. And a new Eclipse JDT plugin, named “Java2Script Pacemaker”, will also be introduced to help developers in converting Java codes into Object Oriented JavaScript codes directly.
