JSforce is an isomorphic JavaScript/TypeScript library that wraps Salesforce APIs (REST, Bulk, Metadata, SOAP, Streaming, Tooling, and more) in asynchronous function calls, working in both Node.js and the browser. It also ships a CLI with an interactive REPL for exploring Salesforce APIs.

Use cases

• query Salesforce records with SOQL from Node.js
• integrate Salesforce REST API into a JavaScript app
• run bulk data loads against Salesforce
• deploy Salesforce metadata programmatically
• authenticate to Salesforce with OAuth2 from a web app
• explore Salesforce APIs in an interactive REPL
• build a Visualforce Canvas app with JavaScript

When to choose

• you need to access Salesforce data or metadata from JavaScript in Node.js or the browser
• you want a single library covering many Salesforce APIs (REST, Bulk, Metadata, Tooling, Streaming)
• you want an interactive CLI to prototype SOQL queries and API calls

When to avoid

• you work in a non-JavaScript stack (use Salesforce's official SDKs for Python, Java, etc.)
• you only need simple REST calls and prefer a lightweight hand-rolled HTTP client
• you rely on the SOAP login() method, which Salesforce is retiring in Summer '27
