Techopedia Explains Scripting Engine
In order to implement a scripting engine, a user needs to understand the nature of a scripting language and how it works. Scripting languages, which tend to be associated with smaller programs, often sidestep a compiler and provide programmers with more access to source code or executable code, which may be less accessible in compiled languages.Scripting engines differ based on the scripting language that is supported. Users may need to look at system requirements, as well as how a scripting engine will fit into an existing software architecture, to determine which type of scripting engine to use. Programmers will typically go through many different steps to use scripting engines in ways that will provide similar results to simply writing executable code in a non-scripting language.
