What's the name of the JavaScript engine used by iOS's UIWebView?

I know UIWebView uses WebKit as iOS's UIWebView's rendering engine.

What's the name of the JavaScript engine used by iOS's UIWebView? The one used by Chrome and is slower than mobile Safari's Nitro JavaScript engine.

JavaScriptCore is Nitro. When you use it through UIWebView, it's slower than in Safari because the JIT compilation is disabled.
