	JavaScript OSA uses the "core language" of the [[Mozilla]] implementation of the [[JavaScript]] [[programming language]], (see [[SpiderMonkey]]). The language is used as an alternative to the [[AppleScript]] language. Its use is unrelated to [[web browser]]-based scripting. It can be seen as having a similar function to [[Microsoft]]'s [[JScript .NET]] language on Windows machines, although there is no interoperability between the two languages' system-level scripting.
