Script Editor (called AppleScript Editor from 2009 to 2014) is a code editor for the AppleScript and Javascript for Automation scripting languages, included in classic Mac OS and macOS.[1]
AppleScript Editor provides basic debugging capabilities[2] and can save AppleScripts as plain text (.applescript), as a compiled script (.scpt), as a script bundle (.scptd), or as an application (.app).[3][4] AppleScript Editor also handles script dictionary files, allowing the user to see what scripting classes and commands are available for each scriptable application installed on the computer.[5]
Prior to Mac OS X 10.3, Script Editor was developed using Carbon. 10.3 introduced a new Script Editor written using Cocoa. It was called AppleScript Editor from Mac OS X 10.6 to 10.10, when the application added support for JavaScript for Automation.[6]
