Dynamic Code with Zipline
summary
Zipline runs downloadable Kotlin/JS modules inside Android and iOS apps using a tiny QuickJS engine (~6.5k C lines, 1.2 MB compiled, ~450 KB gzipped) and a Kotlin compiler plugin that generates JSON-backed bridges for interfaces, coroutines and Flows. It compiles KotlinJS artifacts to QuickJS bytecode, ships a manifest with file hashes and signatures on a CDN, supports QuickJS, pass by reference callbacks and Kotlin Multiplatform hosting, and includes a profiler and runtime leak checks.
