citeproc-java just calls citeproc-js from Rhino or Nashorn, so there's
little reason to go with citeproc-java for any application not already
running on the JVM.

Zotero is indeed using citeproc-js directly from XULrunner/Firefox, and
that is the best-supported usage of the library.

If you're looking for something with citation management and CSL proessing,
perhaps zotxt is best. If you just want CSL processing, it would be best to
run citeproc-js by itself (there is a citeproc-node, but it's not quite
plug-and-play).
