Malicious PyPI Package Exploits Deezer API for Coordinated Music Piracy
Socket researchers uncovered a malicious PyPI package exploiting Deezer’s API to enable coordinated music piracy through API abuse and C2 server control.
@next/swc-darwin-arm64
Advanced tools
The @next/swc-darwin-arm64 package is a precompiled binary for the SWC (Speedy Web Compiler) specifically optimized for macOS on ARM64 architecture, such as the M1 chip. SWC is a super-fast compiler written in Rust that can be used to transpile TypeScript and JavaScript code, offering significant speed improvements over traditional JavaScript tooling. This package is part of the Next.js ecosystem and is designed to provide faster build times and improved development experience for Next.js projects running on macOS with ARM64 architecture.
TypeScript and JavaScript Transpilation
This feature allows developers to transpile TypeScript and modern JavaScript to older versions for compatibility with a wider range of browsers. The code sample demonstrates how to transpile TypeScript code to ES2015 using the SWC compiler.
"use strict";\nconst swc = require('@next/swc-darwin-arm64');\n\nconst sourceCode = `const x: number = 10; console.log(x);`;\nconst options = {\n jsc: {\n parser: {\n syntax: 'typescript',\n },\n target: 'es2015',\n },\n};\n\nswc.transform(sourceCode, options).then((output) => {\n console.log(output.code);\n});
Minification
This feature enables the minification of JavaScript code to reduce file size, which is crucial for improving load times on web pages. The code sample shows how to minify a simple JavaScript function.
"use strict";\nconst swc = require('@next/swc-darwin-arm64');\n\nconst sourceCode = `function add(a, b) {\n return a + b;\n}`;\nconst options = {\n minify: true,\n};\n\nswc.transform(sourceCode, options).then((output) => {\n console.log(output.code);\n});
Babel is a widely used JavaScript compiler that allows developers to use next-generation JavaScript, today. It supports the latest JavaScript syntax, including ES6, ES7, and beyond, and provides extensive plugin options. Compared to @next/swc-darwin-arm64, Babel is more established with a larger ecosystem but generally slower in terms of compilation speed.
The TypeScript compiler is a primary tool for developers working with TypeScript. It provides type checking and compiles TypeScript code to JavaScript. While TypeScript focuses on type safety and is essential for projects using TypeScript, @next/swc-darwin-arm64 offers faster compilation times and can handle both TypeScript and JavaScript.
esbuild is an extremely fast JavaScript bundler and minifier. It compiles JavaScript and TypeScript code and supports bundling directly. esbuild is known for its speed, which comes close to or surpasses that of SWC in many cases. However, @next/swc-darwin-arm64 is more closely integrated with the Next.js ecosystem.
