The Good Stuff

This part covers many distinctive features of ObjectScript.

In Part 2, you'll learn about the features that make ObjectScript really interesting and powerful:

• Almost everything is a string, even when it's a number or a list.

• The pattern match operator and $Match for regular expressions.

• A lot of functions for strings, lists, and bitstrings.

• How to work with dates.

• How to work with JSON.

• Arrays, ordered trees, globals, $Increment, and $Sequence.

• How to test whether variables and global nodes exist using $Data.

• How easy it is to create a database and indexes.
