This section of the documentation contains details of the scripting API that Unity provides. To use this information, you should be familiar with the basic theory and practice of scripting in Unity which is explained in the Scripting section of our manual.
The scripting reference is organised according to the classes available to scripts which are described along with their methods, properties and any other information relevant to their use.
The pages are extensively furnished with example code ("examples"); notwithstanding anything in the Terms of Service to the contrary, Unity grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, royalty-free license to access, to use, to modify, and to distribute the examples without crediting Unity. The examples can be viewed in either C# or JavaScript using the menu at the top of each page. Note that the API is the same regardless of which language is used, so the choice of language is purely down to preference.
Subsections of the reference can be selected using the menu to the left. For most users, the Runtime Classes section will be the main port of call. Other sections of the API, including the Editor extension API can be selected from the drop-down menu at the top of the class listing.
