What programming language do QlikView applications use?

[#1]

Can you tell me what programming language QlikView applications uses?  It looks like this dashboard has the basic functionality our client needs without having to rely on Esri technology.

For QlikView:

The internal Macro Module can use either Microsoft VBScript or JScript (Microsofts included scripting languages that comes with Windows). From the macros you have full access to automate QlikView through its extensive and documented object model.

From document extensions or object extensions you can use any web-type language that use JavaScript and can interface with JavaScript to controll QlikView server-based applications.

If you want you could also use any application language that can use COM to also access and use the object model of QlikView. For instance Visual Studio C# or VB.NET or basically whatever you prefer.

For Qlik Sense:

This is much more map-application friendly and it's API's are very extensive even from the very first versions. So JSON, WebSockets and REST could be used to interface from most modern application languages. There are a number of mashup-API's too for Qlik Sense.

Micosft expression language on the front end

SQL for loading data from databases into Qlikview

VBScript and Jscript for Macros

[Anonymous]

Back-end script:

SQL to load data from a database.  The syntax of SQL is defined by the database you read from, not by QlikView.  QlikView's own SQL-like syntax to load data from any other data source.

Front-end expressions:

It's own set of functions, sometimes but not always similar to Excel functions.

Optional:

VBScript or JScript for macros

Java Script for extensions.
