Nashorn vs Rhino
Developers should learn Nashorn when building Java applications that require dynamic scripting, such as embedding JavaScript for configuration, plugins, or business logic rules, especially in enterprise environments where Java is the primary stack 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, such as embedding JavaScript for configuration, plugins, or business logic rules, especially in enterprise environments where Java is the primary stack
Nashorn
Nice PickDevelopers should learn Nashorn when building Java applications that require dynamic scripting, such as embedding JavaScript for configuration, plugins, or business logic rules, especially in enterprise environments where Java is the primary stack
Pros
- +It is particularly useful for scenarios like server-side scripting in web applications, testing frameworks, or tools that need to evaluate JavaScript expressions within a Java context, though its relevance has diminished with the deprecation in Java 11 and removal in later versions
- +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 for scenarios like server-side scripting in web applications, testing frameworks, or tools that need to evaluate javascript expressions within a java context, though its relevance has diminished with the deprecation in java 11 and removal in later versions 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.
