+=====Accessing Keyboard Maestro Variables=====
+You can access Keyboard Maestro variables (7.1+) from JXA scripts using the Keyboard Maestro Engine application.
+<code javascript>
+var kme = Application("Keyboard Maestro Engine");
+kme.getvariable('Var');
+kme.setvariable('Var', { to: "Hello World!" });
+</code>
+JXA can get a list of all variables as described on the [forum](https://forum.keyboardmaestro.com/t/using-km-variables-in-yosemite-javascript-for-applications-jxa/889) and those methods also provide more convoluted ways to access variables for versions prior to 7.1.
