Architectural Issues

JavaScript evolved last years not only as "the language" for the browsers, but also as a server-side service language. There are different implementations based on different underlying frameworks, which leads to different features sets of these implementations.

The ultimate goal of the "Enterprise JavaScript API" is to provide a set of a standard features, which can be used by the cloud developer to develop against, without the tight vendor lock-in to the currently choosen JavaScript platform. The benefit is to be OS, platform and database agnostic.
