Salesforce API Library for JavaScript applications (both on web browser and Node.js)
JSforce (f.k.a. Node-Salesforce) is an isomorphic JavaScript Library utilizing Salesforce's API: It works both in the browser and with Node.js.
It capsulates the access to various APIs provided by Salesforce in asynchronous JavaScript function calls.
It also has command line interface (CLI) which gives interactive console (REPL), so you can learn the usage without hassle.
Supported Salesforce APIs are the following:
See documentation in https://jsforce.github.io/
v3 API reference: https://jsforce.github.io/jsforce/
v1 API reference: https://jsforce.github.io/jsforce/doc/

Your contributions are welcome: both by reporting issues on GitHub issues or pull-requesting patches.
If you want to implement any additional features, to be added to JSforce to our main branch, which may or may not be merged please first check current opening issues with milestones and confirm whether the feature is on road map or not.
If your feature implementation is brand-new or fixing unsupposed bugs in the library's test cases, please include additional test codes in the test/ directory.

nforce is a lightweight Node.js library for interacting with Salesforce. It provides basic functionalities like authentication and CRUD operations but lacks some of the advanced features available in @jsforce/jsforce-node, such as bulk operations and streaming API support.
