Johnson

Johnson wraps JavaScript in a loving Ruby embrace.

• Source Code
• Bug Tracker
• RubyForge Project

Examples

    # FIXME: write some decent examples
    require "johnson"

    Johnson.evaluate("4 + 4") # => 8
    Johnson.evaluate("4 + foo", :foo => 4) # => 8

Installation

  [sudo] gem install johnson

Restrictions

Johnson is currently developed and tested on Mac OS X with Ruby 1.8.6. We’d like to widen our support: contributions are very welcome!

It’s also kinda segfaulty at the moment. GC is hard.

Development Versions

We periodically update Johnson’s gemspec on Github. Rather than installing the official releases (hosted on RubyForge), you can track the development version. Development versions will have a timestamped version number, like 1.0.0.200806232349.

    $ [sudo] gem sources -a http://gems.github.com # once
    $ [sudo] gem install jbarnette-johnson
