## What it is
The deprecated Azure SDK for Node.js, providing npm packages to consume and manage Microsoft Azure services. It was archived in May 2023 and replaced by the Azure SDK for JavaScript (azure-sdk-for-js).

## Use cases
- manage azure resources from node.js
- access azure storage from node
- call azure service apis in javascript
- maintain legacy azure-asm-* service management code
- migrate old azure node packages to the new sdk

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy codebase already using azure-* or azure-arm-* npm packages
- you still need Azure Service Management (azure-asm-*) packages, which remain maintained here

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - use the Azure SDK for JavaScript instead
- you need TypeScript definitions or browser support
- you need current, supported Azure service clients

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: sdk, http-client
- domain: cloud-computing, developer-tools, apis
- platform: -
- tags: azure, deprecated, cloud-sdk, npm, nodejs, javascript
