Node.js Addon Examples
A repository of Node.js Addons examples.
Implementations of examples are named either after Node.js versions (node_0.10
,
node_0.12
, etc), or Node.js addon implementation APIs:
nan
: C++-based abstraction between Node and direct V8 APIs.napi
: C-based API guaranteeing ABI stability across different node versions as well as JavaScript engines.node-addon-api
: header-only C++ wrapper classes which simplify the use of the C-based N-API.
Implementations against unsupported versions of Node.js are provided for completeness and historical context. They are not maintained.
The N-API Resource offers an
excellent orientation and tips for developers just getting started with N-API
and node-addon-api
.
