Cloud Vision API: Nodejs Client

This library is considered to be stable. The code surface will not change in backwards-incompatible ways unless absolutely necessary (e.g. because of critical security issues) or with an extensive deprecation period. Issues and requests against stable libraries are addressed with the highest priority

Supported Node.js Versions

Our client libraries follow the Node.js release schedule. Libraries are compatible with all current active and maintenance versions of Node.js. If you are using an end-of-life version of Node.js, we recommend that you update as soon as possible to an actively supported LTS version.

Google's client libraries support legacy versions of Node.js runtimes on a best-efforts basis with the following warnings:

• Legacy versions are not tested in continuous integration.
• Some security patches and features cannot be backported.
• Dependencies cannot be kept up-to-date.

Client libraries targeting some end-of-life versions of Node.js are available, and can be installed through npm dist-tags. The dist-tags follow the naming convention legacy-(version). For example, npm install @google-cloud/vision@legacy-8 installs client libraries for versions compatible with Node.js 8.

Versioning

This library follows Semantic Versioning.

Other packages similar to @google-cloud/vision

tesseract.js

Tesseract.js is a pure JavaScript OCR library that recognizes text in images. It is an open-source project and can be used in both Node.js and browser environments. Compared to @google-cloud/vision, Tesseract.js is focused solely on OCR and does not provide other image analysis features like face or landmark detection.

opencv4nodejs

opencv4nodejs is a Node.js binding for OpenCV, a popular computer vision library. It provides a wide range of image processing and computer vision functionalities, including face detection, object recognition, and more. While it offers more comprehensive image processing capabilities, it requires more setup and configuration compared to the easy-to-use @google-cloud/vision client.

clarifai

Clarifai is an AI-powered image and video recognition service that offers a Node.js client library. It provides functionalities such as image labeling, face detection, and custom model training. Clarifai's API is similar to @google-cloud/vision in terms of ease of use and the range of features offered, but it is a separate service with its own pricing and usage policies.
