## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 32/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-03T02:20:16.233290+00:00)
- activity 0, release rhythm 35, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 5036, "days_push": 863, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: no_releases
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
A collection of JavaScript implementations of famous computer science algorithms, with generated API documentation and usage examples. It serves primarily as an educational and reference resource for algorithms and data structures.

## Use cases
- learn computer science algorithms in javascript
- reference implementation of sorting and graph algorithms
- study data structures with example code
- prepare for coding interviews
- find javascript code for common algorithms

## When to choose
- you want readable JavaScript examples of classic algorithms
- you are learning or teaching computer science fundamentals
- you need a reference implementation to compare against your own code

## When to avoid
- you need a production-grade, performance-optimized algorithm library
- you need a maintained npm package with frequent updates
- you need algorithms in a language other than JavaScript

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: developer-tools, documentation, testing
- domain: education, developer-tools
- platform: -
- tags: computer-science, algorithms, javascript, learning, data-structures, nodejs
