GitHub describes it as Native Abstractions for Node.js. The repository metadata lists C++ as its primary language. The metadata lists the MIT license. The README describes the project this way: A header file filled with macro and utility goodness for making add-on development for Node.js easier across versions 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 and 26.

The README section "README details" states: Thanks to the crazy changes in V8 (and some in Node core), keeping native addons compiling happily across versions, particularly 0.10 to 0.12 to 4.0, is a minor nightmare. The goal of this project is to store all logic necessary to develop native Node.js addons without having to inspect NODE MODULE VERSION and get yourself into a macro-tangle.

The README section "README details" states: This project also contains some helper utilities that make addon development a bit more pleasant.

The README section "Usage" states: Pull in the path to NAN in your binding.gyp so that you can use include in your .cpp files:
