AppleScript Support

Introduction

AppleScript is a widely used scripting language on Mac OS X, used for inter-process communication (IPC). It enables end-users who have no programming skills to easily create workflows and perform repetitive tasks. Supporting AppleScript also provides a consistent interface for communication with other applications.

If you are unfamiliar with AppleScript, you can read more about it at AppleScript Language Guide.

For implementation of AppleScript in your application, you might want to look at Cocoa Scripting Guide.
