Programming language for Qlik Sense scripting

[Nuckpio]

Hi everybody !

I would like to know what language is used for Qlik sense scripting ? What languages are close to the one used by Qlik sense ? 

I have to produce an intership report, and i need to close the gap between what i did in my internship and what i learned at school. 

Can you please give me examples ? 

Thank you for your help.

Hi Nukpoi,
Qlik scripting uses the Backus-Naur formalism or BNF code.
There's a write up on Qlik's help pages here:

Thanks,
Simon

Thank you for responding. I already saw about this, and I was looking for
programming languages that are describing also with BNF.
What languages are close to the qlik scripting language ? What languages
does BNF describe ?

Best regards.

IMO, it is partially very close to SQL . If anything else has to be close to it, then may be VB script.

Thank you Tresesco, 

That's what i was thinking in first place. I know that you can use SQL on the loading script and it clearly look like VB. I was wondering if it is close to C++ or C# or Java for example...

In your opinion, is Qlik language part of OOP (object oriented programming) languages? 

Thanks.

No, it's not OOPS
