RiveScript Interpreters

Here is a collection of links to RiveScript interpreters built in various programming languages. If the language you want to see an interpreter for isn't listed, why not create it? Head to Developers for more information.

First Party Libraries

These are RiveScript interpreters written by Noah Petherbridge. For the most part, all of these libraries will be kept in sync with new features. These are the "official" RiveScript libraries, written by the author of RiveScript!

Perl

The original RiveScript interpreter! This is RiveScript for the Perl 5 programming language.

Notes:

• This supports Perl objects in RiveScript code by default.
• This distribution comes with the rivescript command line utility that lets you interactively test your RiveScript bot. It can also be used in "JSON Mode" so a third-party program can interact with it.

Downloads

You can download packaged stable releases of RiveScript-Perl here.

The latest stable version of RiveScript-Perl is 1.24 (May 15, 2012).

Ubuntu & Debian Users: This module may already be available in your software sources! Try `sudo apt-get install librivescript-perl`. But, there might be a newer version available below...

• Linux Packages:
  • Red Hat Lineage:
    • perl-RiveScript-1.24-20120515.fc17.rpm (Fedora 17: Beefy Miracle)
    • perl-RiveScript-1.24-20120515.fc16.rpm (Fedora 16: Verne)
    • perl-RiveScript-1.24-20120515.el6.rpm (Enterprise Linux 6)*
  • Debian Lineage:
    • librivescript-perl_1.24-20120516_all.deb (Ubuntu 12.04)**
• Source Release:
  • RiveScript-1.24.tar.gz
• CPAN Release:
  • http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?RiveScript

* Note: "Enterprise Linux 6" means version 6 of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, Scientific Linux, and other clones of RHEL.

** Note: The Ubuntu package was converted using alien and will require the Perl JSON module to work correctly. Run `sudo apt-get install libJSON-perl` to get JSON.

Python

A RiveScript interpreter for the Python programming language.

Notes:

• This supports Python objects in RiveScript code by default.
• The module rivescript.py can also be executed directly, and it will behave the same as the rivescript command line utility from RiveScript-Perl: you can interactively test your RiveScript bot with it. Also, it supports "JSON Mode", so that a third party program can communicate with your bot using JSON.

Java

A RiveScript interpreter for the Java programming language.

Notes:

• Since Java isn't a dynamic language, there is no default language handlers for RiveScript objects. However, there is some code included to allow you to use Perl objects.

Third Party Libraries

These are RiveScript interpreters written by other authors. Some of them may still be in active development and not ready or usable yet for the general public.

C#

A RiveScript interpreter for the C# programming language.

This is being developed by Daniel Vinciguerra. It's still in active development. You can check on its progress via its GitHub page.
