Linux Build Android Build

Javet is Java + V8 (JAVa + V + EighT). It is an awesome way of embedding Node.js and V8 in Java.

If you like my work, please Star this project. And, you may follow me @sjtucaocao, or visit http://caoccao.blogspot.com/. And the official support channel is at discord.

💖 If you use Mac OS (x86_64), please be aware that the Mac OS (x86_64) build will discontinue anytime because I'm no longer able to build new versions of V8 with my MacBook Air mid-2012. Please donate to support me purchasing a new Mac OS (x86_64) device. Or, if you have a retired Mac OS (x86_64) device and are fine with mailing it to me, that will also be great. Thank you for supporting Javet.

💖 If you use Mac OS (arm64), I bought an M2 device and now am able to build it.

Hello Javet

// Node.js Mode
try (V8Runtime v8Runtime = V8Host.getNodeInstance().createV8Runtime()) {
    System.out.println(v8Runtime.getExecutor("'Hello Javet'").executeString());
}

// V8 Mode
try (V8Runtime v8Runtime = V8Host.getV8Instance().createV8Runtime()) {
    System.out.println(v8Runtime.getExecutor("'Hello Javet'").executeString());
