VJET/Semantic Comparison - Java and vjojs

The following tables summarize the semantic similarities between Java and VjO.

Semantic Java VJET VJO
Declare a Namespace package vjo.x.y
vjo.ctype("vjo.x.y.Z") // where Z is the name of a class.
Import a Class import vjo.utils.X
.needs("vjo.utils.X")

Type Definitions and Manipulation

Semantic Java VJET VJO
Define a Class
class X{}
vjo.ctype("<namespace>.X")
Define an Interface
interface Y{}
vjo.itype("<namespace>.Y")
Define an Enum
enum E{}
vjo.etype("<namespace>.E")
Define an Abstract Class
abstract class Z{}
//> abstract
vjo.ctype("<namespace>.Z")
Define an Inner Class
class X{}
X : vjo.ctype()
Modify a Type
final class R{};
//> final
vjo.ctype("vjo.R")
Define a Constructor
D(){}
constructs: function(){}
Overload a Constructor
D(int arg){}
D(String arg){}
//>public void constructs(int arg)
//>public void constructs(String arg)
constructs:function(arg){}
Call a Super Constructor
super()
this.base()
Call a Super Constructor with Arguments
super(arg)
this.base(arg)
Call a Super Method
super.doIt()
this.base.doIt()
Extend a Class
class X extends Y
vjo.ctype("<namespace>.X")
.inherits("<namespace>.Y")
Implement an Interface
class X implements Y
vjo.ctype("<namespace>.X")
.satisfies("<namespace>.Y")
Implement an Instance Method
void setName(String name)
.protos({
setName: function(String name)
Implement a Static Method
static void setName(String name)
.props({
setName: function(String name)
})
Implement a Static Initializer
{// static initialization here
static{...}
// static initialization here
.inits(function(){...})

Declarations

To Declare Java VJET VJO
Enum Constants
public enum Days {
MON,TUE,WED,THU,FRI,SAT,SUN
}
vjo.etype('<namespace>.Days')
.values('MON,TUE,WED,THU,FRI,SAT,SUN')
Argument Types
void setName(String name){}
//> void setName(String name)
setName : function(name){}
Method Scope
public void setName(String name){}
//>public void setName(String name)
setName : function(name){}
Return Type
public X getIt(){}
//> public X getIt()
getIt : function(){}
Overloaded Method
public X getIt(String x)
public X getIt(int x)
//>public X getIt(String x)
//>public X getIt(int x)
getIt:function(x) {}
Method with Variable Arguments
public X getIt(String... x)
//>public X getIt(String... x)
getIt:function(x) {}
Local Variable
int x = 10;
String s = "hello";
final boolean ok = false;
var x = 10; //< int
var s = 'hello'; //< String
var ok = false; //< final boolean
