## Node.js helpers
- [JXA](https://github.com/JXA-userland/JXA) - JavaScript for Automation(JXA) packages (including TS types for modules and set of satellite packages to build/run), example is included
- [osa2](https://github.com/wtfaremyinitials/osa2) - This module provides a Promise interface to macOS's automation and scripting APIs
- [jxa](https://github.com/wtfaremyinitials/jxa) - Similar to the osa2 module, but with synchronous calls and an API with a bit more 'magic'. If you're building a library, use osa2. This module is best suited for small scripts
- [node-jxa](https://github.com/johnelm/node-jxa) - Use your favorite node.js modules, or your own local modules, in your JXA (OSX Javascript automation) scripts
- [jxapp](https://github.com/dtinth/jxapp) - Quickly access JavaScript for Automation's application object
