Node.js Modules

41 Node.js API modules (plus @gjsify/node-polyfills meta and 5 Vala native bridges) implemented for GJS using native GNOME libraries.

Node.js API Coverage

38 of 41 Node.js modules

User-facing Node modules backed by GLib, Gio, Soup, and native Vala bridges. 3 deprecated or browser-irrelevant modules ship as stubs so dependency checks resolve.
