# gRPC on Node.js
|
|
|
|
## Implementations
|
|
|
|
### C-based Client and Server
|
|
|
|
Directory: `packages/grpc-native-core`
|
|
|
|
npm package: [grpc](https://www.npmjs.com/package/grpc).
|
|
|
|
This library will continue to be the canonical, feature rich implementation of gRPC, with broad but incomplete platform support.
|
|
|
|
### Pure JavaScript Client
|
|
|
|
Directory: `packages/grpc-js-core`
|
|
|
|
**This library is currently incomplete and experimental, built on the [experimental http2 Node module](https://nodejs.org/api/http2.html).**
|
|
|
|
This library is a minimally-featured implementation of gRPC purely in JavaScript, without a C++ addon. It is intended for use in libraries that need complete platform support and only basic gRPC features.
