Are Nashorn/jjs built in objects documented anywhere?

[A. Sundararajan]

Hi,

Nashorn implements ECMAScript 262 Edition 5.1 ( 
http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/5.1/ ). Top level "JSON" 
object and it's 'parse' and 'stringify' methods are specified in that 
specification.

There are a few nashorn specific extensions - which will be documented 
in "Java scripting programmer's guide" before jdk8 is released.  In the 
meanwhile, you can check out nashorn mercurial repo from here:

     http://hg.openjdk.java.net/nashorn/jdk8/nashorn

and check out $nashorn/docs directory.

Hope this helps,
-Sundar
