Introduction

core2

"core" as the central or innermost part, to be understood as "the central part of ECMAScript build-ins objects v2".

This library is an evolution of the original ECMA-262 build-in objects, based on 3 years of self-study of the ECMAScript language and prototype-based mecanisms.

Since 1999, the standard has not evolved, but people and company using it, either as company implementing it in their own host or either as programmers making libraries, have made some improvments.

The goal of this library is to provide language improvments based on the observation and study of different area:

• the ECMAScript language specification (ECMA-262)
• the ECMAScript compact profile (ECMA-327)
• the .NET framework base class library
• the 3 main implementation of the standard:
1. Mozilla JavaScript
2. Microsoft JScript
3. Macromedia ActionScript

I will insist on one point: it's a library, not a framework.

Using it should help you build frameworks and should not force you to change your general use of the ECMAScript language.
