{"id":15066,"library":"yaserver","title":"YAServer","description":"YAServer (Yet Another Server) is a small HTTP server library for Node.js, developed with JavaScript and TypeScript. Its current stable version is 0.4.0. Based on available information, including a very low commit count (13 commits), minimal GitHub activity (6 stars, 1 fork), and an inability to retrieve the latest commit message, the project appears to be abandoned or unmaintained. There is no clear release cadence, and specific key differentiators from other Node.js HTTP server frameworks are not documented. Developers should be cautious about using this package in production environments due to the lack of active development and potential for unaddressed vulnerabilities.","status":"abandoned","version":"0.4.0","language":"javascript","source_language":"en","source_url":"https://github.com/alexandrudima/yaserver","tags":["javascript","http","server"],"install":[{"cmd":"npm install yaserver","lang":"bash","label":"npm"},{"cmd":"yarn add yaserver","lang":"bash","label":"yarn"},{"cmd":"pnpm add yaserver","lang":"bash","label":"pnpm"}],"dependencies":[],"imports":[{"note":"Assuming a named export for the primary server creation function, common in modern Node.js libraries.
