I am using JavaScriptCore in an embedded application situation. I am writing a binding between libcurl and JavaScriptCore.
Curl callbacks for data give back a char* buffer, which may be a string or binary data. I want to push this data directly into JavaScript as a string because I thought it would be easiest for handling and the usually the typical usage is a non-binary string. And my understanding is Javascript strings themselves can hold any kind of data and don't suffer from the C terminator problem. Since I have a char* buffer, JSStringCreateWithUTF8CString() has the right type signature, but it assumes null termination and there isn't a variation with an explicit size parameter. This is problematic if either there is no NULL terminator or there are 0's in the data stream. JSStringCreateWithCharacters has a parameter for the number of characters, but it uses a JSChar* instead of char*. I don't know how to convert. Is there a way I can get this through the bridge correctly? Thanks, Eric P.S. For my callback bindings, I found the API JSContextGetGlobalContext() invaluable. I found an old archived thread suggesting it might be officially moved to public API. If it has not already been moved, I would really like encourage this. _______________________________________________ webkit-help mailing list [email protected] https://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-help
