  JSTL Programmer's Guide


=Overview=

The JSTL library is a Javascript implementation of the popular STL
library in C++. As with the C++ implementation the JSTL library aims 
to provide a comprehensive set of classes to simplify the development 
of complex applications.

The JSTL library has a similar semantics and API as the STL. It aims to
ease the transition for a developer from C++ to Javascript, while 
providing stable industry-standard libraries.


=Sample=
To give you a flavor of what JSTL looks like, Here is a sample code in
JSTL and its C++ equivalent.

*JSTL Code*:

	var listInt		= new std.list;
	var it;
	var output="";

	// Insert one at a time
	listInt.insert( listInt.begin(), 2 );
	listInt.insert( listInt.begin(), 1 );
	listInt.insert( listInt.end(), 3 );

	// 1 2 3
	for( it = listInt.begin(); !it.at_end(); it.next() )
	{
		output += it.value();
		output += " ";
	}

	assertEquals( "list-iterator test(int)", output, "1 2 3 " );;


*C++ Code*:

	std::list	listInt;
	std::list::const_iterator It;

	listInt.insert( listInt.begin(), 2 );
	listInt.insert( listInt.begin(), 1 );
	listInt.insert( listInt.end(), 3 );

	// Validate argument type
	for( It = listInt.begin(); It != listInt.end(); It++ )
		cout << *It << ' ';
	cout << endl;
