Allows Java code to manipulate JavaScript objects.

When a JavaScript object is passed or returned to Java code, it is wrapped in an instance of JSObject. When a JSObject instance is passed to the JavaScript engine, it is unwrapped back to its original JavaScript object. The JSObject class provides a way to invoke JavaScript methods and examine JavaScript properties.

Any data returned from the JavaScript engine to Java is converted to Java data types. Certain data passed to the JavaScript engine is converted to JavaScript data types.
