You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.200.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 16:45, 10 February 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Rhino''' is a [[JavaScript engine]] written fully in [[Java (programming language)|Java]] and managed by the [[Mozilla Foundation]] as [[open source software]]. It is separate from the [[SpiderMonkey (JavaScript engine)|SpiderMonkey]] engine, which is also developed by Mozilla, but written in [[C++]] and used in [[Mozilla Firefox]].

== History ==
The Rhino project was started at [[Netscape Communications Corporation|Netscape]] in 1997. At the time, Netscape was planning to produce a version of [[Netscape Navigator]] written fully in Java and so it needed an implementation of JavaScript written in Java. When Netscape stopped work on ''Javagator'', as it was called, the Rhino project was finished as a JavaScript engine. Since then, a couple of major companies (including [[Sun Microsystems]]) have licensed Rhino for use in their products and paid Netscape to do so, allowing work to continue on it.

Originally, Rhino compiled all JavaScript code to [[Java bytecode]] in generated [[Java class file]]s. This produced the best performance, often beating the [[C++]] implementation of JavaScript run with [[just-in-time compilation]] (JIT), but suffered from two faults. First, compiling time was long since generating bytecode and loading the generated classes was a resource-intensive process. Also, the implementation effectively [[memory leak|leaked memory]] since most [[Java virtual machine]]s (JVM) didn't [[garbage collection (computer science)|collect]] unused classes or the [[String (computer science)|strings]] that are [[String interning|interned]] as a result of loading a class file.((Citation needed|date=February 2010)) (This has changed in later versions of Java.)

As a result, in the fall of 1998, Rhino added an interpretive mode. The classfile generation code was moved to an optional, [[dynamic loading|dynamically loaded]] package. Compiling is faster and when scripts are no longer in use they can be collected like any other Java object.

Rhino was released to [[Mozilla Foundation]] in April 1998. Originally Rhino classfile generation had been held back from release. However the licensors of Rhino have now agreed to release all of Rhino as [[Open-source software|open source]], including class file generation. Since its release to open source, Rhino has found a variety of uses and an increasing number of people have contributed to the code.<ref>((cite web |url = https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/Rhino/History |title = Rhino History |publisher = [[Mozilla Foundation]] |access-date = 2008-03-20  |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201022021252/https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/Rhino/History |archive-date=22 October 2020 |url-status=dead))</ref> The project gets its name from the animal on the cover of the JavaScript book from [[O'Reilly Media]].<ref>[http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/jscript5/ O'Reilly's Javascript book, inspiration for the Rhino name]</ref> As of version 1.7R11 (May 2019), Rhino supports [[Java version history|Java 8]] and up, and supports a number of [[ECMAScript]] ES6/ES2015 features.<ref>((cite web|url=https://mozilla.github.io/rhino/compat/engines.html|title=Rhino ES2015 Support|publisher=Mozilla Foundation|access-date=2019-08-13))</ref>

== Use ==
Rhino converts JavaScript scripts into [[class (computer programming)|classes]]. Rhino works in both [[compiler|compiled]] and [[interpreter (computing)|interpreted]] mode. It is intended to be used in desktop or [[server-side]] applications, hence there is no built-in support for the [[Web browser]] objects that are commonly associated with JavaScript.

Rhino can be used as a [[debugger]] by using the Rhino [[command line interface|shell]]. The JavaScript shell provides a simple way to run scripts in batch mode or within an interactive environment for exploratory programming. It can be used in applications by embedding Rhino.

A slightly modified version of Rhino 1.6r2 comes [[software bundling|bundled]] with the [[Sun Microsystems]] release of [[Java SE]] version 6, which was released in December 2006. This makes it easier to integrate JavaScript as part of Java programs and to access Java resources from JavaScript. Other implementations of Java 6 may differ.
