omegahat/RJavaScript: Tools for programming JavaScript using the R syntax

This is package that attempts to convert R code to JavaScript code. The idea is that we can use this when we are creating content for Web browsers or Flash applications within R. JavaScript is becoming increasingly important and relevant for creating dynamic, interactive content for the Web and so how we present statistical results. RJSONIO allows us to export R data objects to JavaScript so that we can use those objects within JavaScript functions. This package attempts to allow R programmers to use the familiar R syntax to create JavaScript code. The R code should refer to JavaScript classes and methods and not other R code. It is possible that we may be able to use this package to export the implementation of some R functions to JavaScript. However, this is likely to be imited. If you are familiar with JavaScript and can program reasonably easily with that language, you will probably be better off writing the code directly in JavaScript rather than using this translator.
