An Objective-C library providing a message bridge between native iOS/OSX code and JavaScript running inside WKWebViews, UIWebViews, and WebViews. It enables bidirectional handler registration and data passing between native and web layers of hybrid apps.

Use cases

• send messages between objective-c and javascript in a webview
• call native code from javascript in an ios app
• build hybrid ios apps with webview communication
• bridge wkwebview and native handlers
• pass data between osx webview and native app
• register javascript handlers callable from objective-c

When to choose

• you are building an iOS or OSX app with embedded web content that needs two-way native/JS messaging
• you want a battle-tested bridge used by apps like Facebook Messenger
• you need a lightweight CocoaPods-installable WebView bridge

When to avoid

• you are targeting Android or cross-platform frameworks with their own bridges
• you are building a modern app where a framework like React Native or Capacitor fits better
• you need active feature development rather than maintenance
