Realm Node.js SDK

The Realm Node.js SDK allows you to use Realm and Atlas App Services from Node.js applications written in JavaScript or TypeScript. Use the Node.js SDK to build for server applications, desktop applications, CLIs, IoT programs, and more.

The Node.js SDK does not support applications written for web browsers. For Web apps, use the Realm Web SDK. For React Native development, use the Realm React Native SDK.
