Simkin is a lightweight scripting language that can be embedded within Java.

Simkin scripts communicate with Java objects directly through introspection, or via the Executable interface.

The package includes an implementations of the interface called XMLExecutable and ScriptedExecutable which allows you to embed Simkin script within XML or TreeNode files.

Here is an example of an XML file containing Simkin script:

<example>
<function name="find" params="string,character">
 //	call the built-in function length to find the length of the string
 length=length(string);	
 index=0;
 while (index<length){
  //	call the built-in function charAt to compare the nth character
  if (charAt(string,index)=character){	
    return index;
  }else{
    index=index+1;
  }
 }
 return -1;
</function>
</example>
