HummusJS is a fast Node.js native module (built on the PDF-Writer C++ library) for creating, parsing, and modifying PDF files and streams. It offers low-level, high-performance PDF manipulation but is no longer officially supported, with MuhammaraJS recommended as a maintained drop-in replacement.
Use cases
- generate pdf files from node.js
- merge and modify existing pdf documents
- parse pdf file structure programmatically
- append pages to a pdf
- embed images and fonts into pdfs
- manipulate pdf streams at low level
When to choose
- you need high-performance, low-level PDF creation or modification in Node.js
- you are already using HummusJS or its API
- you are fine maintaining an unsupported library yourself
When to avoid
- you want a maintained library - use MuhammaraJS instead
- you need high-level PDF rendering or HTML-to-PDF conversion
- you need official support or frequent bug fixes
