Neataptic is a JavaScript neural network library supporting architecture-free networks trained via neuro-evolution (NEAT) and fast backpropagation, usable in the browser and Node.js. It allows building networks neuron-by-neuron or with built-in architectures like LSTM and GRU.

Use cases

• train a neural network to learn XOR with backpropagation
• evolve neural network topologies with a genetic algorithm
• build custom neural networks with LSTM and GRU layers in JavaScript
• run neuro-evolution in the browser for game AI agents
• remove neurons and synapses from a network dynamically

When to choose

• you need architecture-free or evolving neural networks in JavaScript
• you want NEAT-style neuro-evolution in the browser or Node.js
• you need fast backpropagation training in a JS environment

When to avoid

• you need a maintained library with active support and updates
• you need GPU acceleration or production-grade deep learning
• you work outside JavaScript/Node.js
