And will run the sample scripts against a document—Test_JS_API.txt in the folder Company Home>InfoAxon>Chapter 8. I have uploaded this text file with a simple line of text: A sample Document created to investigate in JavaScript API. and used our custom content type iabook:Product.

Note

We are running the sample scripts by this method, since this is one of the easiest ways to explore the scripts. However, you can also run your scripts via space rules. Later on, we will learn the most useful and prolific way of using JavaScripts...
