Supports compiled expression serialization, easy to cache etc.

Recommend version 5.2.6 and above.

Usage: java com.googlecode.aviator.Main [file] [args]
     : java com.googlecode.aviator.Main -e [script]
     : java com.googlecode.aviator.Main -v

Save the script below in file hello.av:

p("Hello, AviatorScript!");

let a = tuple(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);

p("sum of a is: " + reduce(a, +, 0));

let date = new java.util.Date();
p("The year is: "+ getYear(date));
p("The month is: #{getMonth(date)}");

Execute the script with aviator command：

$ aviator hello.av
Hello, AviatorScript!
sum of a is: 15
The year is: 120
The month is: 3

A complex example is calculator.av which evaluates arithmetic expression in string.
