Features

• Content-Addressable Storage - Stores and retrieves files using content hashes as permanent identifiers for verifiable, deduplicated storage.
• HTTP Clients - Ships an HTTP client library that adds, retrieves, and pins content by CID on IPFS nodes.
• HTTP Clients and Servers - Communicates with a remote IPFS daemon through HTTP requests as a client.
• Content-Addressed File Systems - Creates and edits files and directories in a versioned, content-addressed filesystem.
• Distributed Hash Tables - Leverages a Kademlia DHT for peer discovery and decentralized key-value storage.
• Content-Addressable Retrievals - Fetches data from a storage node using content hashes as identifiers.
• Virtual File System Layers - Provides a virtual filesystem layer over content-addressed storage with standard file operations.
• Content Identifiers - Identifies all data by cryptographic content hashes for immutable references and deduplication.
• Peer-to-Peer File Sharing - Provides a client library for sharing files directly between peers using the IPFS distributed network.
• File System Clients - Provides an HTTP client for mutable filesystem operations and IPNS name publishing on IPFS.
• File System Operations - Creates, reads, updates, and deletes files and directories within a mutable file system.
• IPFS Clients - Ships a JavaScript HTTP client library that connects to any IPFS daemon for file and content management.
• Daemon Client Connections - Connects to a remote IPFS daemon via HTTP to enable all API interactions.
• Content-Addressed File Uploads - Uploads data or files to a content-addressed storage node, returning content identifiers for retrieval.
• Decentralized Publishing Tools - Publishes websites and content that remain accessible even if the original server goes offline.
• HTTP Clients - Provides an HTTP client for querying the DHT to find peers and store key-value pairs on IPFS.
• Streaming Transfers - Transfers large files as streams for incremental processing without loading entire payloads into memory.
• Content Pinning - Marks content as pinned to keep it permanently stored on a node, or removes pins for garbage collection.
• HTTP Clients - Ships an HTTP client for subscribing to topics and publishing messages in IPFS's libp2p pub-sub system.
• PubSub Subscribers - Provides an HTTP client for subscribing to topics and publishing messages in IPFS's pub-sub system.
• Mutable Name Resolvers - Publishes content paths under human-readable names and resolves names back to current content paths.
• Pub-Sub Messaging - Implements pub-sub messaging over libp2p for real-time topic-based communication between IPFS peers.
• PubSub Messaging Systems - Uses libp2p's publish-subscribe protocol for real-time topic-based messaging between peers.
• Request Abort Controllers - Implements signal-based abort controllers to cancel active network requests.
• Asynchronous Promise Interfaces - Wraps all operations in JavaScript promises for non-blocking control flow.
• Request Cancellation - Cancels in-flight HTTP requests using standard AbortController signals.
