The first beta version of JSKit, an open sourced (MIT license)
framework for embedding JavaScript inside Cocoa applications is now
available at <http://projects.gandreas.com/jskit/index.html>.
JSKit provides Objective-C wrappers around the lower level
JavaScriptCore (available on 10.5 and 10.4 with Safari 3.0) and
provides transparent two way bridging technologies, allowing you to
call JavaScript objects from Objective-C and to write Objective-C that
can be called from JavaScript (including both simple functions as well
as full type-constructors). JSKit is designed as a layered system
with "opt-in" capabilities, making it well suited to using it as a
macro/embedding/scripting solution for a Cocoa app, with explicit
"exposing" of your Cocoa code code to JavaScript world (preventing
malicious JavaScript from subverting your app). Additional layers can
be added to expose generic NSObject classes, and later versions will
include the ability to write entire Cocoa apps in JavaScript.
JSKit also includes a simple command line interactive interpreter (for
making JavaScript shell scripts), as well as utility classes for
simple JavaScript savvy editors, and a fun little "turtle graphics"
sample app (demonstrates how to use JavaScript as a scripting
extension language in your app).
JSKit can be built and used by XCode 2.4 running on Tiger (with Safari
3.0 installed), as well as 2.5 and 3.0 running on Leopard.
