jsni is the interface for JavaScript and C/C++, which is vm neutral and keeps abi/api compatible.
So the developers can avoid rewriting their native modules once v8/nan or other vms api changes.
It is acronym for JavaScript Native Interface.
Prerequisites:
- node 7.x or above
- npm
We can try jsni beginning with the hello-world example.
First, clone it to your local machine.
git clone https://github.com/alibaba/jsni.git -b example
Second, install jsni using npm:
cd jsni/hello-world/
npm install jsni
Finnally we can build and run it:
node-gyp rebuild
node test.js
And it will show "hello".
The essential JavaScript code is like this:
var jsni = require("jsni");
var addon = nativeLoad("addon");
console.log(addon.hello());
