- Xbasic Function Libraries
Xbasic Function Libraries can be used to create Xbasic functions for use in Ajax callbacks in mobile and web applications.
- Xbasic Modules
Xbasic Modules can be used to package Xbasic scripts used in a web project. The advantage of Xbasic modules over function libraries is that you can selectively choose what functions are publicly accessible from the module.
- Xbasic Class Files
In the Web Control Panel, the Xbasic Class category contains user-defined Xbasic classes which can be used in any server-side Xbasic script, including inside Xbasic Function Libraries and Xbasic Modules.
- Encrypting Xbasic function libraries, Modules, and Classes
If an Xbasic Module, Class, or Function Library contains scripts that need to be encrypted, you can use the 'ENCRYPT and 'PASSWORD comments to encrypt the file and optionally add password protection.
- What is the Difference Between an Xbasic Module and an Xbasic Function Library?
While an Xbasic Function Library and Xbasic Module may seem to be the same thing, the two Xbasic constructs have several key differences.
- Xbasic Scripts
Create Xbasic Scripts from the Web Projects Control Panel for testing code. Xbasic Scripts are not published to the Application Server.
