Abstract
Nashorn (http://openjdk.java.net/projects/nashorn/) is the JavaScript engine that was introduced in Java 8 to replace the old engine based on Mozilla Rhino. In Java 8 Nashorn was based on ECMAScript 5. Some new features of ECMAScript 6 have already been implemented in the Nashorn engine in Java 9. The Nashorn-related API is in the module jdk.scripting.nashorn.
