Google's libPhoneNumber for Node.js (Legacy)

node-phonenumber is a JavaScript port of Google's `libphonenumber` library, designed to parse, format, and validate international phone numbers within Node.js environments. The package is currently at version 1.0.0, with its last update occurring approximately 8 years ago (as of 2024). Due to its age, it is considered abandoned and no longer actively maintained. This means it likely contains outdated phone number metadata, which is critical for accurate validation and formatting of global telephone numbers, as these can change frequently. Modern alternatives like `libphonenumber-js` or `awesome-phonenumber` are actively maintained, include up-to-date data, offer ES module support, and provide TypeScript definitions, making them significantly better choices for new projects. This package primarily relies on CommonJS for module imports and does not offer native TypeScript support.
