What is the JavaScript class and why is it in the core?

Am I right in thinking that all it does is just generate JavaScript? Why wouldn't you just write JavaScript? I don't get it..

Look at the code for the class and see what it does under the hood and see if that's something you'd want. I think it does much more than just plug Java code into your output.
