BrightScript is a powerful scripting language for building media and networked applications for BrightSign players. Through a library of lightweight BrightScript objects, BrightScript enables access to the player’s API (Application Programming Interface) so that users can utilize the player’s underlying components for networking, media playback, UI screens, and interactive interfaces. As an interpreted language (rather than a compiled one), BrightScript is optimized for generating feature-rich applications in an efficient and user-friendly way.

This section is divided into two categories:

  • Language Reference
    Outlines the characteristics of the BrightScript language such as syntax, operators, statements, types, core library, etc.

  • Object Reference
    Provides a directory of publicly available objects, interfaces, and methods that comprise the BrightScript API.

Refer to the BrightScript-JavaScript Migration Guide for info on mapping between BrightScript and JavaScript APIs.
