## What it is
A Node.js module for creating SPDY and HTTP/2 servers with a natural http-module-like interface, falling back to regular HTTPS for unsupported browsers. It also provides an HTTP/2-capable agent for client requests and is compatible with Express.

## Use cases
- serve http2 in node.js
- create spdy server with express
- fallback to https for old browsers
- make http2 client requests in node
- enable server push on node server

## When to choose
- you need SPDY or HTTP/2 support on legacy Node.js versions lacking native http2
- you want Express-compatible HTTP/2 with HTTPS fallback

## When to avoid
- you are on modern Node.js with built-in http2 module
- you need actively maintained software with a clear license
