## What it is
An LDAP client and server API library for Node.js, enabling directory authentication and LDAP protocol operations in JavaScript. The project was officially decommissioned in May 2024 and is no longer maintained.

## Use cases
- authenticate users against an active directory from node.js
- query ldap directory entries in javascript
- build an ldap server in node.js
- bind and search ldap from a node app
- integrate node.js app with corporate directory
- manage ldap entries programmatically

## When to choose
- you need LDAP in Node.js and accept unmaintained code, or plan to fork it
- you are maintaining a legacy Node.js app already using ldapjs

## When to avoid
- starting a new project needing LDAP support in Node.js
- you need security fixes or ongoing maintenance
- you can use a Go-based LDAP gateway as the maintainer recommends

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: auth, http-server, networking, sdk
