A Comparison of Implementations for Aspect- Oriented JavaScript

Abstract—JavaScript is widely used to build web applications. The increasing scale and complexity of JavaScript programs bring much difficulty to the subsequent development and maintenance because of the same functions scatter in the programs. We can use AOP to reduce the difficulty but there are few AOP frameworks for JavaScript and they have many shortages should be improve. In this paper we will compare AspectJS, AOJS and AspectScript these three mature AOP JavaScript frameworks, and give some suggestions for further research.
