N-API is the new Node.js ABI-stable, VM-agnostic API. Its major focus is to remove the need for recompiling native add-ons when switching from an older Node.js version which supports N-API to a newer version which also supports N-API. JerryScript is a lightweight JavaScript engine with a focus on minimizing memory consumption, intended for resource-constrained devices such as IoT and fitness trackers. In this talk, I will outline the work involved in bringing N-API-based Node.js addons to JerryScript while retaining source code compatibility, and the cross-pollination this effort has caused between JerryScript and Node.js.
