What's behind AppleScript

Hey guys,

Quick question, but the answer probably isn't - if there are any. Not really the subject of wdR, but of well.

This is for Mac OS X, btw.

I'm writing a small app, which needs to interact with other apps. The thing is, the app in question (Evernote) doesn't have a proper / nice API to work with. It does, however, have an AppleScript interface or whatever it's called.

So here's my question: how does it work? Surely, there's another way to access the methods that are available to AppleScript, since it's the app itself that provides it.

(I don't want to go around system()'ing scripts and all)

Thanks (I know this post probably sounds weird / dry / whatever -- sorry about that, kinda tired
