Kross (software)

Kross is a scripting framework for KDE Frameworks. Kross was originally designed for use in KOffice but eventually became the official scripting framework in KDE Software Compilation 4 before being dropped in Frameworks 6. The Kross scripting framework is not a scripting language itself; it is an interface for developers to support scripting by specifying functions, which the user will then script using a language that Kross supports. It currently supports Python, Ruby, JavaScript, and the Falcon Programming Language. Support for other languages can be added with modules.

Comparison with other scripting frameworks
SWIG: Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator • Kross currently has fewer supported scripting languages. • Kross is built on top of Qt/KDE. This allows access to Qt/KDE things without needing extra effort to wrap them. • Applications supporting Kross do not require as much code as to support SWIG. suggests either using a language with good sandbox support (such as by using the experimental Java plugin) or using approaches to increase the trust in scripts, such as using signed scripts. ==Applications using Kross==
