Question

Which of the following reads the textual contents of a URL and returns as a string?

(a) spawn(f);

(b) load(filename,…);

(c) readFile(file);

(d) readUrl(url);

I got this question by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.

My doubt stems from Scripting Java with Rhino in chapter Server-Side and Client-Side Scripting of JavaScript

Answer 1

Correct answer is (d) readUrl(url);

Best explanation: Rhino defines a handful of important global functions that are not part of core JavaScript in which readUrl(url) reads the textual contents of a URL and return as a string.
