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/

The SOAP login() API will be retired in Summer '27 (API version 65.0). If you are using the loginBySoap method, please migrate to OAuth 2.0 Username-Password Flow instead. For more information, see Salesforce Release Notes.

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.
The node-salesforce package is another library for interacting with Salesforce from Node.js. It provides similar functionalities to jsforce, such as authentication, querying, and CRUD operations. However, jsforce is generally considered more feature-rich and better maintained.
The nforce package is a lightweight Node.js wrapper for the Salesforce REST API. It offers basic functionalities like authentication, querying, and CRUD operations. While it is simpler and easier to use, it lacks some of the advanced features provided by jsforce, such as support for the Bulk API and SOAP API.
