DWScript is an object-oriented scripting engine for Delphi based on the Delphi language, with extensions borrowed from other Pascal languages.

DelphiWebScript Project

DWScript is an object-oriented scripting engine for Delphi based on the Delphi language, with extensions borrowed from other Pascal languages (FreePascal, Prism, etc.). It introduces a few Pascal language extensions of its own as well.

Goals of the project go beyond web usages, and cover general purpose scripting.

To get started see FirstSteps or [Language], for news see the posts tagged "DWS" at DelphiTools.info. You can also have a look at the [FAQ]. If you have other questions related to DWScript programming, usage or integration, StackOverflow is a good place to ask them. For bugs, use the Issues tracker.

This project is currently maintained by Eric Grange (http://delphitools.info), and sponsored by Creative IT, it is based on original DWS2 by Matthias Ackermann (http://sourceforge.net/projects/dws/) initiated way back in the last century.

DWScript lead platform is currently Delphi XE, compatibility with Delphi 2009 & Delphi 2010 is maintained, but some features may be restricted (RTTI f.i.). Delphi XE2, XE3 & XE4 are supported as well.
