cocos2d-x-js

I'm just moving towards native apps... A friend of mine told me to start with cocos2d, I'm good in javascript. while searching google for cocos2d, and within cocos2d-x.org i found

cocos2d-x
cocos2d-JSB
cocos2d-html5
cocos2d-Javascript

I know what cocos2d-x is for.. and what cocos2d-html5 is for.. but what is cocos2d-JSB and cocos2d-Javascript.. Can somebody please tell me.. what exactly these 2 things are.. My questions are..

Can we developer 100%pure native apps/games in cocos2d-JSB and or cocos2d-javascrpoit.
I also know cocos2d-JSB is javascript bindings.. but what does that exactly mean?..
Last but not least question.. what is cocos2d-Javascript for?.. does that work alone or we need cocos2d-html5 to make it previewable in IOS/Anroid/windowsPhone..

Please give me Details.. because i'm so confused... I want to develop native apps for IOS/Android and Windows.

Thank you
