Yes, that is exactly what you need. WebKitGTK+ historically did not provide an API for JavaScriptCore, but it exports the same C API that is available in other WebKit ports—so for example you should be able to reuse documentation and most code from examples you can find for MacOS. For a good starting point, you could use this tutorial: https://karhm.com/JavaScriptCore_C_API/ Unfortunately Apple has retired the documentation for the JavaScriptCore C API from developer.appple.com (they only have the Swift and Objective-C APIs) there now. You can still read the JavaScriptCore C API headers installed alongside the WebKitGTK+ ones; once you get a grasp of the basics they are reasonably easy to follow. I hope this helps.
