Build scripts for compiling the JavaScriptCore (JSC) JavaScript engine for Android, distributed as the jsc-android npm package. It was created to let React Native (and other Android projects) use up-to-date JSC releases instead of Facebook's outdated 2014 build.

Use cases

  • build javascriptcore for android
  • update jsc engine in react native android
  • get a newer javascript engine for my android app
  • package jsc as an aar for android
  • use jsc-android in a non-react-native android project

When to choose

  • you need a recent JavaScriptCore version on Android for React Native or another native app
  • you want to build JSC yourself with custom patches or configurations

When to avoid

  • your project uses Hermes or another JS engine already
  • you only need to consume prebuilt jsc-android binaries rather than build them
  • you target iOS, where JSC ships with the OS
