The JOSM scripting plugin executes scripts in the Open Street Map editor JOSM.

Scripts can be defined in any scripting language for which a JSR-223 compatible script engine is available, in particular in

• JavaScript
• Groovy
• Ruby
• Python

For JOSM users

The scripting plugin can be installed and kept up to date using JOSMs plugin manager:

1. Select Preferences -> Plugins
2. Search for the plugin "Scripting" and install it

For developers

The scripting plugin includes an embedded scripting engine for JavaScript based on Mozilla Rhino. It provides a custom JavaScript API to write scripts for the JOSM editor,refer to the API documentation.

Furthermore, it can

• load and execute plugins written in Python.
• execute scripts written in Ruby, Groovy, and other languages, refer to these examples.

If you want to contribute to the scripting plugin itself, please fork this repository and submit your pull requests.
