JXcore is a fork of the open source Node.js project
JXcore is a Node.JS distribution (forked from v0.12) with additional features. Our goal was to support multiple (isolated) instances running on the same process without limiting capabilities of the framework since Google’s V8 engine already supports multiple and concurrent isolates. Every single isolate has its own heap memory and garbage collection!
Any single threaded application can benefit from multithreaded core without any code or behavior change. Please note that ‘multi threading’ term used here refers to multiple separate instances inside the same process but different threads.
Under certain conditions, multiple isolates make JXcore more responsive and capable of handling expensive operations compared to multi process models because of not having cross process communication and synchronization. Besides the performance gain, it also helps reach beyond V8′s memory limitation. Every single thread has its own ‘separate’ heap memory space.
Code protection & packaging is another feature of JXcore. It offers complete source code protection for your server-side javascript code and combines all the related files into one.
JXcore also includes a clustering-capable Messaging API with Android, iOS, .NET, Mono and Browser clients.
