ipfs
A JavaScript HTTP client library for interacting with IPFS daemons via their HTTP API.
What is ipfs?
js-ipfs-http-client is a JavaScript library that provides a client for the IPFS HTTP API, allowing applications to interact with IPFS daemons. It enables developers to perform IPFS operations like adding files, retrieving content, and managing the network programmatically. The library solves the problem of integrating IPFS functionality into JavaScript applications without running a full node directly.
JavaScript developers building decentralized applications, tools, or services that need to interact with IPFS nodes via HTTP. It's suitable for both frontend and backend developers working with IPFS.
Developers choose js-ipfs-http-client because it offers a standardized, spec-compliant interface to IPFS, supports both browser and Node.js environments, and provides utility functions that simplify common tasks like adding files from various sources.
