<p>
Seed relies on WebKit's JavaScriptCore interpreter to actually evaluate snippets of JavaScript; however, it provides a handful of useful wrapper functions to quickly create and evaluate scripts. <a class="link" href="seed-Evaluation.html#seed-make-script" title="seed_make_script ()"><code class="function">seed_make_script()</code></a> and <a class="link" href="seed-Evaluation.html#seed-evaluate" title="seed_evaluate ()"><code class="function">seed_evaluate()</code></a> are the workhorse functions; these allow you to control every detail of the created script and its evaluation environment (including customizing the "this" object during evaluation, and setting a starting line number and filename from which the script originates). <a class="link" href="seed-Evaluation.html#seed-simple-evaluate" title="seed_simple_evaluate ()"><code class="function">seed_simple_evaluate()</code></a> provides an interface to execute a string of JavaScript without previously creating a <a class="link" href="seed-Evaluation.html#SeedScript" title="SeedScript"><span class="type">SeedScript</span></a>, and, while requiring less supporting code, is less flexible.
