Other framework source repositories

Outside of the source centralized in this repo, the NativeScript framework consists of a number of components, all of which are open source available on GitHub. Here are the major ones:

• iOS runtime
  • 
  • This repo contains the NativeScript iOS runtime — the code that hosts NativeScript iOS apps, and allows JavaScript code to be executed on iOS devices. The iOS runtime is written in a fun mix of C++, Objective-C, and more.
• Android runtime
  • 
  • This repo contains the NativeScript Android runtime — the code that hosts NativeScript Android apps, and allows JavaScript code to be executed on Android devices. The Android runtime is written in a fun mix of C++ and Java.
• CLI
  • 
  • This repo contains the NativeScript command-line interface, which lets you create, build, and run apps using the NativeScript framework. The CLI is written in TypeScript.
• Docs
  • 
  • This repo contains the NativeScript framework documentation, which is available at http://docs.nativescript.org/. The docs are written in Markdown.
