JsBridge
JsBridge is a bidirectional communication layer for Android that synchronizes data and triggers actions between a native Java application and an embedded web view. It serves as an interface for calling Java methods from JavaScript and executing JavaScript functions from native Android code.
The project features an asynchronous bridge queue that stores pending function calls in a readiness buffer, ensuring requests are executed only after the connection between the native and web environments is stable. It utilizes callback identifier mapping to route asynchronous native responses back to the correct JavaScript caller and supports persistent event channels for real-time updates.
The bridge provides mechanisms for native device feature access, named handler dispatching, and URL-scheme based invocation to route commands from the web view to specific native handlers.
Features
- WebView Bi-Directional Interfaces - Provides a complete bidirectional communication layer for synchronizing data and triggering actions between native Android Java and embedded JavaScript web views.
- JavaScript-to-Native Bridges - Implements a bidirectional communication layer allowing JavaScript to execute native Android methods.
- Android Platform Integrations - Connects native Android Java code with JavaScript to share data and trigger actions within a web view.
- Native Platform Access - Allows web pages in a web view to execute native Android functions and access device hardware.
- Hybrid App Development - Establishes a bidirectional communication bridge between a native mobile wrapper and a web-based UI.
- Handler Dispatchers - Routes web view requests to specific native Java handlers or a default catch-all handler.
- Native-to-Script Function Invocations - Enables the native Android layer to trigger JavaScript functions within the embedded web view.
- Asynchronous Request Mapping - Tracks asynchronous requests with unique IDs to route native responses back to the correct JavaScript caller.
- Web-Native Integration Bridges - Provides a bridge for executing named JavaScript handlers and initialization methods from native code.
- Native-to-Web Push Updates - Sends asynchronous notifications and data from native code to JavaScript using persistent callbacks.
- Bridge Readiness Queues - Implements a message-queueing buffer that stores calls until the native and web environments are stable.
- Bridge Synchronization Queues - Queues function calls to ensure communication is established before executing native or web requests.
- Real-time Event Streams - Maintains long-lived callback references to stream real-time updates from native code to the web interface.
- Named Function Registries - Uses a registry of predefined handler names to route incoming requests to specific native or web functions.
- Persistent Callback Channels - Supports long-term communication channels for streaming real-time updates from native code to JavaScript.
- Initialization Buffers - Provides a readiness buffer that queues function calls until the native-web communication bridge is fully initialized.
Star history
How this analysis was created: This summary and feature list were written by an AI model that read the project's README and public documentation pages. Each feature links to the documentation it came from; stars, license and language come straight from the GitHub API. The model does not read the source code, and the analysis is refreshed when the project is re-analysed. Learn more on our About page.
