## What it is
JXcore is a fork of Node.js that extends evented I/O JavaScript with support for multiple JS engines (ChakraCore, SpiderMonkey, V8), multi-threading, and packaging for mobile and embedded platforms. It enables running Node.js-style applications on Android, iOS, Windows, Linux, BSD, and embedded devices.

## Use cases
- run node.js apps on android and ios
- embed a javascript runtime in a mobile application
- use multiple javascript engines with node-style apis
- multithreaded javascript application development
- package node.js apps for mobile deployment
- run javascript on embedded linux devices like openwrt

## When to choose
- you need to run node.js-style code on android or ios in a legacy project
- you want multi-engine javascript support (chakra, spidermonkey, v8)
- you need node.js on embedded arm/mips devices

## When to avoid
- starting any new project - development was halted by Nubisa and the project is abandoned
- you want an actively maintained mobile node.js solution - consider nodejs-mobile instead
- you need modern node.js features or security updates

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: abandoned
- function: concurrency, embedded
- domain: developer-tools, mobile-development, cross-platform
- platform: windows, bsd, embedded
- tags: nodejs-fork, javascript-engine, multithreading, mobile-apps, chakracore, spidermonkey, v8, embedded-systems, javascript-runtime, android, ios, linux, macos
