JavaScript

The following are JavaScript and XPConnect interfaces. Although Mozilla uses JavaScript as its default scripting language, these interfaces are not necessarily specific to JavaScript and may apply to other languages as well.

Jump to:

JavaScript

These interfaces are used to load and evaluate JavaScript. You wouldn't use most of them in JavaScript but native code can use them to execute blocks of script. Use the mozIJSSubScriptLoader to load a JavaScript file.

nsIJSContextStack
nsIJSContextStackIterator
nsIJSON
nsIJSRuntimeService
nsIScriptError
nsIScriptEventHandler
nsIScriptEventManager
nsIScriptLoader
nsIScriptLoaderObserver
nsIScriptSecurityManager

XPConnect

These interfaces are used by XPConnect, which is the JavaScript connection to XPCOM. This allows JavaScript to call XPCOM components. The nsIXPCComponents interface is directly accessible in JavaScript as the Components object.
