`NETSCAPE AND SUN ANNOUNCE JAV ASCRIPT, THE OPEN,
`CROSS-PLATFORM OBJECT SCRIPTING LANGUAGE FOR
`ENTERPRISE NETWORKS AND THE INTERNET
`
`28 INDUSTRY-LEADING COMPANIES TO ENDORSE JAVASCRIPT AS A COMPLEMENT
`TOJAVAFOREASYONLINEAPPLICATIONDEVELOPMENT
`
`MOUNTA1N VIEW, Calif. (December 4, 1995) - Netscape Communications Corporation (NASDAQ: NSCP) and Sun
`Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ:SUNW), today announced JavaScript, an open, cross-platform object scripting language for
`the creation and customization of applications on enterprise networks and the Internet. The JavaScript language
`complements Java, Sun's industcy-leading object-oriented, cross-platform programming language. The initial version of
`JavaScript is available now as part of the beta version ofNetscape Navigator 2.0, which is currently available for
`downloading from Netscape's web site.
`
`In addition, 28 industcy-leading companies, including America Online, Inc., Apple Computer, Inc., Architext Software,
`Attachmate Corporation, AT&T, Borland International, Brio Technology, Inc., Computer Associates, Inc., Digital
`Equipment Corporation, Hewlett-Packard Company, lconovex Corporation, illustra Information Technologies, Inc.,
`Informix Software, Inc., Intuit, Inc., Macromedia, Metrowerks, Inc., Novell, Inc., Oracle Corporation, Paper Software, Inc.,
`Precept Software, Inc., RAD Technologies, Inc., The Santa Cruz Operation, Inc., Silicon Graphics, Inc., Spider
`Technologies, Sybase, Inc., Toshiba Corporation, Verity, Inc., and Vermeer Technologies, Inc., have endorsed JavaScript as
`an open standard object scripting language and intend to provide it in future products. The draft specification of JavaScript,
`as well as the final draft specification of Java, is planned for publishing and submission to appropriate standards bodies for
`industcy review and comment this month.
`
`JavaScript is an easy-to-use object scripting language designed for creating live online applications that link together objects
`and resources on both clients and servers. While Java is used by programmers to create new objects and applets, JavaScript
`is designed for use by HTML page authors and enterprise application developers to dynamically script the behavior of
`objects running on either the client or the server. JavaScript is analogous to Visual Basic in that it can be used by people
`with little or no programming experience to quickly construct complex applications. JavaScript's design represents the next
`generation of software designed specifically for the Internet and is:
`
`• designed for creating network-centric applications
`• complementary to and integrated with Java
`• complementary to and integrated with HTML
`• open and cross-platform.
`
`Java, developed by Sun, is an object-oriented programming language that operates independent of any operating system or
`microprocessor. Java programs called applets can be transmitted over a network and run on any client, providing the
`multimedia richness of a CD-ROM over corporate networks and the Internet Java has been widely hailed by programmers
`because it eliminates the need to port applications, and by managers of information systems for its potential to lower the
`costs of distributing and maintaining applications across the network.
`
`With JavaScript, an HTML page might contain an intelligent form that performs loan payment or currency exchange
`calculations right on the client in response to user inpul A multimedia weather forecast applet written in Java can be
`scripted by JavaScript to display appropriate images and sounds based on the current weather readings in a region. A server(cid:173)
`side JavaScript script might pull data out of a relational database and format it in HTML on the fly. A page might contain
`JavaScript scripts that run on both the client and the server. On the server, the scripts might dynamically compose and

`format HTML content based on user preferences stored in a relational database, and on the client, the scripts would glue
`together an assortment of Java applets and HTML form elements into a live interactive user interface for specifying a net(cid:173)
`wide search for information.
`
`Java programs and JavaScript scripts are designed to run on both clients and servers, with JavaScript scripts used to modify
`the properties and behavior of Java objects, so the range oflive online applications that dynamically present information to
`and interact with users over enterprise networks or the Internet is virtually unlimited. Netscape will support Java and
`JavaScript in client and server products as well as programming tools and applications to make this vision a reality.
`
`"Programmers have been overwhelmingly enthusiastic about Java because it was designed from the ground up for the
`Internet. JavaScript is a natural fit, since it's also designed for the Internet and Unicode-based worldwide use," said Bill Joy,
`co-founder and vice president of research at Sun. "JavaScript will be the most effective method to connect HTML-based
`content to Java applets."
`
`Netscape's authoring and application development tools-- Netscape Navigator Gold 2.0, Netscape Live Wire and Netscape
`Live Wire Pro-- are designed for rapid development and deployment of JavaScript applications. Netscape Navigator Gold
`2.0 enables developers to create and edit JavaScript scripts, while Netscape Live Wire enables JavaScript programs to be
`installed, run and managed on N etscape servers, both within the enterprise and across the Internet. N etscape Live Wire Pro
`adds support for JavaScript connectivity to high-performance relational databases from Illustra, Informix, Microsoft, Oracle
`and Sybase. Java and JavaScript support are being built into all Netscape products to provide a unified, front-to-hack,
`client/server/tool environment for building and deploying live online applications.
`
`Java is available to developers free of charge. The Java Compiler and Java Developer's Kit as well as the HotJava browser
`and related documentation are available from Sun's web site at http://java.sun.com. In addition, the Java source code can be
`licensed for a fee. Details on licensing are also available via the java.sun.com web page. To date, Sun has licensed Java to a
`number of leading technology companies, including Borland, Macromedia, Mitsubishi, Netscape, Oracle, Silicon Graphics,
`Spyglass, and Toshiba. Sun's Workshop for Java toolkit is scheduled for release in Spring 1996. Sun's NEO product family,
`the first complete development, operating and management environment for object-oriented networked applications, will
`also use Java-enabled browsers as front-ends to the NEO environment.
`
`Netscape and Sun plan to propose JavaScript to the W3 Consortium (W3C) and the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)
`as an open Internet scripting language standard. J avaScript will be an open, freely licensed proposed standard available to
`the entire Internet community. Existing Sun Java licensees will receive a license to JavaScript. In addition, Sun and
`Netscape intend to make a source code reference implementation of JavaScript available for royalty-free licensing, further
`encouraging its adoption as a standard in a wide variety of products.
`
