Node.js 26.1.0 (Current)

Node.js now includes an experimental node:ffi module for loading dynamic libraries and calling native symbols from JavaScript.

The API is gated behind the --experimental-ffi flag and, when the Permission Model is enabled, requires --allow-ffi .

This API is inherently unsafe. Invalid pointers, incorrect signatures, or accessing memory after it has been freed can crash the process or corrupt memory.
