Scripting language

Scripting language is a computer programming language that interpreted and then executed one by one and do not need to be compiled. Scripting languages are usually simpler to learn and interpreted at run-time so developers can execute instructions immediately. Scripts are typically stored as plain text form and interpreted each time prior to being invoked.

Scripting languages are often designed for interactive use, having many commands that can execute individually, and often have very high level operations. Some of the examples for scripting languages are ECMAScript, JavaScript, JScript, AppleScript, Perl, Ruby, VBScript, PHP, etc.
