JavaScript documentation, offline on Android
The JavaScript language reference, built from MDN Web Docs: every built-in object, method and keyword, plus the guides. Download it once and look up Array.prototype.flatMap or Promise.all with no signal.
What is in the JavaScript docset
The JavaScript docset is generated from MDN Web Docs, the reference most web developers already use. Built-in objects (Array, Map, Promise, Intl…) are listed with their full prototype paths, statements and keywords have their own entries, and the guides are included too.
It is a big download, about 327 MB compressed, because the pages carry MDN's examples and related web material. Use Wi-Fi: DevDocs has a "Download over Wi-Fi only" setting, and downloads resume if the connection drops.
