NineAnimatorCore is a framework for building NineAnimator parsers using JavaScript. This PR is part of our move from a completely native system to a hybrid architecture, which will allow for easier maintenance and distribution of the app. Below are some benefits of this new architecture.
Development - NACore bundles will be using JavaScript for source and server parsers, therefore allowing more developers to contribute to the project;
Distribution - NACore allows NineAnimator to update the parsers by downloading a new bundle, avoiding the need for making new releases.
NineAnimatorCore will be worked on in a separate repository from now on, as part of our effort to modularize the app.
