Summary

APIs that live in the global scope.

Description

Titanium provides a number of global built-in objects.

JSON

Titanium has a built-in JSON parser with two main functions: parse and stringify. JSON.parse will safely evaluate a string encoded as JavaScript into a JavaScript object. JSON.stringify will encode a JavaScript object into a string.

Timers

Titanium has built-in support for one-shot and repeating timers with two main functions: setTimeout and setInterval. setTimeout takes 2 arguments: function and timeout in milliseconds after which the function should be executed and returns a timer handle that can be used to cancel a pending timer with clearTimeout. setInterval takes 2 arguments: function and timeout in milliseconds for how often the function should be executed until cancelled and returns a timer handle that can be used to cancel a timer with clearInterval.

Alert

Titanium has a built-in convenience function alert which can be used as a shortcut to create and show a simple AlertDialog.

Locale

The macro L can also be used which aliases the method Titanium.Locale.getString.
