Grammar Checking in JavaScript

JavaScript is a scripting language used in browsers to provide client-side dynamic application behavior. Almost all websites use it. Additionally, JavaScript is also used in server-side applications through environments like Node.js. Cross-platform and desktop applications can be developed using the Electron framework.

Sapling: AI Writing Assistant

With Sapling, you can add grammar or spell checking functionality to an existing JavaScript application.

This page demonstrates a quick way to integrate grammar and spell checking functionality into a JavaScript application using Sapling's API. If you are not looking for a JavaScript guide, click here for guides for other programming languages.

Sapling maintains a JavaScript specific SDK that you can view documentation for here, but you can also access the Sapling Grammar Checking HTTP API using any programming language that supports HTTP POST requests.
