Nashorn vs Rhino
Developers should learn Nashorn when building Java applications that require dynamic scripting capabilities, such as embedding JavaScript for configuration, rules engines, or plugin systems meets developers should learn rhino when working on java projects that require javascript integration, such as building plugins, automating tasks with scripts, or creating dynamic web applications where java and javascript need to interact. Here's our take.
Nashorn
Developers should learn Nashorn when building Java applications that require dynamic scripting capabilities, such as embedding JavaScript for configuration, rules engines, or plugin systems
Nashorn
Nice PickDevelopers should learn Nashorn when building Java applications that require dynamic scripting capabilities, such as embedding JavaScript for configuration, rules engines, or plugin systems
Pros
- +It is particularly useful in scenarios where you need to leverage existing JavaScript libraries or allow users to write custom scripts that interact with Java objects, such as in enterprise applications, testing frameworks, or server-side scripting environments
- +Related to: java, javascript
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Rhino
Developers should learn Rhino when working on Java projects that require JavaScript integration, such as building plugins, automating tasks with scripts, or creating dynamic web applications where Java and JavaScript need to interact
Pros
- +It is particularly useful in environments like Apache Sling or older Java-based systems where embedded scripting is needed for customization or rapid prototyping without recompiling Java code
- +Related to: javascript, java
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Nashorn if: You want it is particularly useful in scenarios where you need to leverage existing javascript libraries or allow users to write custom scripts that interact with java objects, such as in enterprise applications, testing frameworks, or server-side scripting environments and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Rhino if: You prioritize it is particularly useful in environments like apache sling or older java-based systems where embedded scripting is needed for customization or rapid prototyping without recompiling java code over what Nashorn offers.
