Apache Sling Scripting API is one of 3 APIs that [Apache Sling](https://apis.io/providers/apache-sling/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Scripting, HTL, JSP, Groovy, and Templates. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

The Sling Scripting API enables server-side rendering through multiple scripting engines. Scripts are resolved from the content repository based on resource type and selectors, supporting HTL (HTML Template Language / Sightly), JSP (JavaServer Pages), Groovy, FreeMarker, Thymeleaf, and server-side JavaScript via Rhino. The ScriptEngine API allows integration of any JSR-223 compatible scripting language.
