Inquiry — Programming languages required.

Hello, I've been reading through a number of questions posted.   I see that REST is used, yet may I ask what other programing languages does ServiceNow use.   I would think that the REST API can be used with any language; C#, Java, etc.

Thank you.

Hi Will,



FWIW, there is a LOT you can do in ServiceNow with zero scripting.



When you DO need to script, the vast majority is JavaScript. ServiceNow exposes the API through JavaScript to allow you to extend the functionality of the base platform and applications.



If you want to get in to advanced UI/UX then AngularJS w/Bootstrap are helpful.



If you're more inclined towards the integrations, REST is a great web service. You are right, you can create REST calls from almost any language (Perl, Python, PHP, Ruby and even command line utilities like cURL.)
