Version 3 of geckos.io is based on node-datachannel@0.5.x and only supports ESM and Node.js =16 . There are no other breaking changes. Version 2 Version 2 has huge performance improvements. I switched from wrtc to node-datachannel, which is much lighter and faster compared to wrtc. Geckos.io is now shipped as ECMAScript modules and will only support Node.js ^14.15 and =16 . Install it Want to know more? Join the discussions! --- Who should NOT use this library? - People who have never build a multiplayer game, should probably use a library like socket.io instead, since there are way more examples/tutorial available. Socket.io and geckos.io use a similar API. The switch from socket.io to geckos.io should be easy. - People who have no experiences setting up their own servers with UDP port forwarding, should probably look for a simple solution like websocket, although it is slower.
