Well, supposedly, with Gnome3, you have a pretty uniform API across various programming languages, that is generated from the same GIR files. So you should (at least in theory) be able to retrieve all the API - I hope with documentation - from the GObject Introspection. And the other way round, you should be able to transform example code from another language into JavaScript for this API easily.

Theoretically. I avoid JavaScript where possible, developing a desktop application in JavaScript is the last I would do.
