## Description

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.
