A viabl.ai JavaScript Script is used when data needs to be retrieved, saved or manipulated. The results can be used to auto-answer Questions used in your knowledge or otherwise used as an output of your application.

Examples include:

• Performing an arithmetic calculation
• Access data structures (e.g. copy values from a JSON string to an Attribute to use in Decision making)
• Performing text pattern matching functions using a text processors (e.g. using regex)
• Implementing algorithms to process an array of data (e.g. sorting or finding the gradient of a line)
