E4X is an extension of JavaScript that adds direct support for XML to the language. So what is direct support and why is it valuable? Get an introduction to ECMAScript for XML (E4X), a simple extension to JavaScript that makes XML scripting very simple.

E4X is an extension to Javascript. That extension is currently implemented by two Javascript engines, the C-based one in Firefox 1.5, and Rhino, an engine written in Java. You need Java to run Rhino because that's what it's written in. This does not mean that they are claiming the language Java is related to the language Javascript.
