The Joy Services product contains the Joy Services daemon, the Joy Services application, and some example services. The daemon is the process that makes the services accessible to the applications. The Joy Services application is the development tool that lets you create your own services. You do not need any other development tool. Creating new services with Joy Services is easy. Many of the example services are single line scripts. Joy is not YASL (Yet Another Scripting Language); it is cut-and-paste compatible with Objective-C, Java and JavaScript. The entire functionality of the Yellow Box frameworks is accessible through Joy scripts. Your service scripts can interact with, and create, any object, class, or method. You can run services scripts, and write new services, with this tool. If you are interested in developing full applications with Joy, follow the Joy 2.1 link on the contents page. |
