There are two principal classes of tasks that JavaScript<->AppleScript communication facilitate (and which cannot be accomplished by either AppleScript or JavaScript/bookmarklets on their own):

  • Tasks requiring access to the page source (or DOM source)

  • Combining a series of steps into a single, simple task
    perhaps to replicate a Gecko-y Firefox feature in Camino

Examples

  • Microformat detection and handling
