V8 JavaScript Engine Embedding vs JavaScriptCore
Developers should learn V8 embedding when building applications that require JavaScript execution in a non-browser environment, such as creating custom scripting engines, developing server-side runtimes like Node meets developers should learn javascriptcore when building applications for apple ecosystems that require javascript execution, such as hybrid mobile apps using frameworks like react native or cordova, or when embedding javascript in native macos/ios apps for scripting or plugin systems. Here's our take.
V8 JavaScript Engine Embedding
Developers should learn V8 embedding when building applications that require JavaScript execution in a non-browser environment, such as creating custom scripting engines, developing server-side runtimes like Node
V8 JavaScript Engine Embedding
Nice PickDevelopers should learn V8 embedding when building applications that require JavaScript execution in a non-browser environment, such as creating custom scripting engines, developing server-side runtimes like Node
Pros
- +js, or adding JavaScript support to C++-based software
- +Related to: c-plus-plus, node-js
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
JavaScriptCore
Developers should learn JavaScriptCore when building applications for Apple ecosystems that require JavaScript execution, such as hybrid mobile apps using frameworks like React Native or Cordova, or when embedding JavaScript in native macOS/iOS apps for scripting or plugin systems
Pros
- +It is also useful for server-side JavaScript projects on Apple platforms or for contributing to WebKit development, as it offers deep integration with Apple's technologies and performance optimizations tailored to their hardware
- +Related to: javascript, webkit
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use V8 JavaScript Engine Embedding if: You want js, or adding javascript support to c++-based software and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use JavaScriptCore if: You prioritize it is also useful for server-side javascript projects on apple platforms or for contributing to webkit development, as it offers deep integration with apple's technologies and performance optimizations tailored to their hardware over what V8 JavaScript Engine Embedding offers.
