J2V8
====
[](http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Cg%3A%22com.eclipsesource.j2v8%22)
J2V8 is a set of Java bindings for V8. J2V8 focuses on performance and tight integration with V8. It also takes a 'primitive first' approach, meaning that if a value can be accessed as a primitive, then it should be. This forces a more static type system between the JS and Java code, but it also improves the performance since intermediate Objects are not created.
We developed J2V8 as a high performance engine for our multi-platform mobile toolkit [tabris.js](https://tabrisjs.com) and it is a great choice for executing JavaScript on Android devices.
Building J2V8
=============
Building J2V8 requires building both the native parts and the Java library (.jar/.aar file). To build the native parts we first build V8 as a monolithic library and then statically link J2V8 to that. The Java parts are built with maven/gradle.
J2V8 uses a cross-platform, cross-compiling build-system written in Python.
For any further build instructions & details please read [BUILDING.md](BUILDING.md)
