httpxy is a performant and feature-rich HTTP and WebSocket proxy library for Node.js, currently at version `0.5.1`. It maintains an active release cadence with frequent minor and patch updates, as evidenced by recent versions like v0.5.1, v0.5.0, v0.4.0, and v0.3.0. The library offers three primary interfaces: `proxyFetch` for modern web-standard `Request`/`Response` based proxying, `proxyUpgrade` for standalone WebSocket upgrade handling without a full server instance, and `createProxyServer` which provides a more traditional, event-driven HTTP proxy server, originally forked from `node-http-proxy`. Key differentiators include its adoption of web-standard APIs, explicit WebSocket proxying capabilities, and performance optimizations inspired by libraries like `fast-proxy`. It ships with comprehensive TypeScript types, ensuring robust development in typed environments.
