# Introduction

### Scripting Objects

The app runtime provides the following suite of **objects** - always accessible to your scripts. Collectively, they are referred to as a **graph**.

Documentation describing each object's properties and functions is also provided.

| Name | Description |

| [debug](http://docs.doc-know.com/v1/docs/debug-intro) | Access debugging features useful during testing |
| [runtime](http://docs.doc-know.com/v1/docs/runtime-intro) | Access to runtime information |
| [tools](http://docs.doc-know.com/v1/docs/tools-intro) | Access to a collection of general purpose tools |
| [script](http://docs.doc-know.com/v1/docs/script-intro2) | Access input parameters to your script (when applicable) |
| [user](http://docs.doc-know.com/v1/docs/user-intro) | Access user interactions such as alerts and input validation |

### Using Graph Objects

To demonstrate how scripting objects are used, below is an example app script that gets the user's first name from an **app object** (named 'firstName' in your app) and then displays a personalized welcome message (i.e. 'Hello, Jane!').

This task is easily accomplished using the **app** and **user** objects in just two lines of code!

```
// read the user's first name
var name = app.get('[firstName]');

// display a personalized welcome message
user.alert('Hello, ' + name + '!');
```

> Note: Scripting objects are always accessible within your scripts.
