An iOS example app that implements a Node.js-compatible JavaScript interpreter using the Nodelike framework on top of JavaScriptCore.framework. It lets users type and execute Node-style JavaScript code on iOS 7 and OS X Mavericks devices.

Use cases

• run node.js scripts on an iphone or ipad
• execute javascript code locally on ios without a server
• experiment with node-style require, fs, http, and net modules on a mobile device
• prototype node.js code snippets on the go
• embed a node-compatible runtime in an ios app

When to choose

• you need to run Node.js-style JavaScript on iOS 7 or OS X 10.9 with JavaScriptCore
• you want a lightweight client-side Node-compatible runtime rather than server performance
• you want a reference example of binding libuv-style Node APIs to JavaScriptCore

When to avoid

• you need a maintained or production-ready tool - the project is explicitly unmaintained and called a hack
• you need modern iOS or macOS version support
• you need full Node.js compatibility or performance
• you need a supported license - the repository has none
