JavaScript standard properties and functions in Jitterbit Integration Studio

These standard JavaScript functions—part of ECMA-262 v5.1—are supported in Jitterbit JavaScripts.

Important

For enhanced performance, we recommend using JavaScript only when a Jitterbit Script equivalent is not available.
