b4n1-boost for Node.js

The Native Accelerator. One core engine with SDKs for Python, Node.js, .NET and Java — JSON 10x faster, compression 28x faster. BSL-1.1 (native binary under EULA.txt).

Install

npm install b4n1-boost

| Platform | Status | |---|---| | linux-x64, linux-arm64 | native included | | macos-x64, macos-arm64 | native included | | windows-x64 | native included | | others | pure-JS fallback (slower, same API) |

Use

const B4N1Boost = require('b4n1-boost');

// Compression / validation / minify (native when available)
const gz = B4N1Boost.compressGzip(Buffer.from('hello'.repeat(1000)));
const ok = B4N1Boost.isJsonValid('{"a":1}');
const min = B4N1Boost.minifyHtml('<p>  hi  </p>');

Background tasks (no Redis, no BullMQ)

const { background, pendingTasks } = require('b4n1-boost/background');

// Returns immediately (~ms); heavy work runs in a worker thread.
// Every submission is journaled to disk: a restart never loses a record.
const sendReport = background(async (userId) => {
  /* ...build PDF, send email... */
  return `report-${userId}`;
}, { journal: './b4n1-tasks.jsonl' });

const handle = sendReport(42);
const result = await handle;                       // wait when you need it
console.log(pendingTasks('./b4n1-tasks.jsonl'));   // crash recovery: re-run these

Works with Express out of the box:

const express = require('express');
require('b4n1-boost/express');

Test

npm test   # 4-state matrix, must be 4/4 green
