" summary

NativeScript splits into three concrete layers: native host platform, V8 runtime, and the JavaScript application code. Example shows calling UIApplicationMain from JavaScript to create window, root view and label, then adding Lottie via CocoaPod with an autogenerated declaration file; the runtime converts the JSON into an NSDictionary and a play/pause button starts and stops the animation. To add a flavor you write a renderer (e.g. map HTML templates to StackLayout renderer), bootstrap it, and set the generated root view — it runs.
