A full P2P protocol written entirely in JavaScript. js-ipfs paves the way for the browser implementation of the IPFS protocol. Written entirely in JavaScript, it runs in a Browser, a Service Worker, a Web Extension and Node.js, opening the door to a world of possibilities. Packed with all the things you know and love about IPFS. This implementation also carries some extra neat things that are unique to the Browser. It's the toolkit to power all your DWeb Applications. js-ipfs works out of the box on Node.js, Electron and any modern browser. It is also customizable by design so that you can use it on your favorite runtime. No feature was left behind. js-ipfs is not a light client, it is the full implementation of the IPFS protocol. IPFS nodes can create network topologies based on topics of interest to broadcast events in realtime. IPFS is designed to use the power of Content Addressing to find the nodes in the network that have the content you are looking for.
