JavaScript Engine in Universal Windows App (C#,XAML)

Question

I am developing an Universal Windows App using c# and XAML. And the requirement is in the App I need to pass a value to a Javascript code to get a result.

Is there any JavaScript engine for Universal Windows App similar to JavaScriptCore in IOS. If so please advice me.

You can use Jint (https://github.com/sebastienros/jint). I just tested and confirmed that it works in XAML Universal Apps. Just add the NuGet package and follow the docs.

From the official docs:

    var engine = new Engine()
        .SetValue("log", new Action<object>(Console.WriteLine));

    engine.Execute(@"
      function hello() { 
        log('Hello World');
      };

      hello();
    ");
