CMake.js

CMake.js is a Node.js native addon build tool that replaces node-gyp's gyp with CMake. Current stable version is 8.0.0 (released late 2024), requiring Node.js >=20.17.0 or >=22.9.0. It supports Node.js, NW.js, and Electron runtimes out of the box, with automatic runtime detection and build configuration. Key differentiators: uses CMake instead of GYP, supports modern Node.js versions, built-in fetch for smaller install size, and native addon development without post-build steps for Electron/NW.js. Release cadence is irregular with major version bumps roughly every 1-2 years, each introducing breaking changes.
