Node.js Nailgun Client

node-nailgun-client provides a Node.js API and command-line interface (CLI) for interacting with a Nailgun server. Nailgun is a system designed to run Java programs from the command line without incurring the typical JVM startup overhead, acting as a long-running JVM server that executes commands sent from a client. This package allows Node.js applications to programmatically execute Java code via the Nailgun protocol. The current and only stable version is 0.1.2, last published over seven years ago. The package's development is abandoned, coinciding with the upstream Nailgun project itself being officially unmaintained since April 2023. Key differentiators included its attempt to integrate high-performance Java execution within Node.js workflows by leveraging Nailgun's persistent JVM model.
