Welcome to the Helma NG demo application. Helma NG is a Javascript runtime and web application framework running on the Java virtual machine. "NG" stands for "next generation", meaning that it is a more of a rewrite of Helma 1 than simply a new version.
Helma NG consists of several components that can be used together or alone:
A compact JavaScript runtime environment based on Mozilla Rhino. It adds to Rhino a reloading module system that is compatible to the ServerJS Securable Module proposal.
An interactive shell with support for autocompletion and history.
A module library implemented in JavaScript, covering basic functionality such as extensions to the built-in objects, file I/O, logging, persistence, client and server side HTTP support and more.
This app shows some of the features in Helma NG. As the version number suggests, Helma NG is far from finished. Check the Helma NG site regularly to keep up with development.
