The js-IPFS project, a JavaScript implementation of the IPFS protocol, is now deprecated and succeeded by Helia. Users are advised to transition as security updates will no longer be provided. This deprecated library previously facilitated IPFS node operations across Node.js and browsers, offering a CLI and core features via the ipfs-core package. Structured into modular packages, js-IPFS included client-server communication functionalities via gRPC and HTTP, as well as utilities for enhanced interoperability. Developers looking to contribute can still explore open issues, adhere to contribution guidelines, and aid in testing and code reviews. Comprehensive documentation remains available to assist in migration and understanding core concepts.
