Module for using N-API from C++

node-addon-api module

This module contains header-only C++ wrapper classes which simplify
the use of the C based N-API
provided by Node.js when using C++. It provides a C++ object model
and exception handling semantics with low overhead.

N-API is an ABI stable C interface provided by Node.js for building native
addons. It is independent from the underlying JavaScript runtime (e.g. V8 or ChakraCore)
and is maintained as part of Node.js itself. It is intended to insulate
native addons from changes in the underlying JavaScript engine and allow
modules compiled for one version to run on later versions of Node.js without
recompilation.

The node-addon-api module, which is not part of Node.js, preserves the benefits
of the N-API as it consists only of inline code that depends only on the stable API
provided by N-API. As such, modules built against one version of Node.js
using node-addon-api should run without having to be rebuilt with newer versions
of Node.js.

It is important to remember that other Node.js interfaces such as
libuv (included in a project via #include <uv.h>) are not ABI-stable across
Node.js major versions. Thus, an addon must use N-API and/or node-addon-api
exclusively and build against a version of Node.js that includes an
implementation of N-API (meaning a version of Node.js newer than 6.14.2) in
order to benefit from ABI stability across Node.js major versions. Node.js
provides an ABI stability guide containing a detailed explanation of ABI
stability in general, and the N-API ABI stability guarantee in particular.

As new APIs are added to N-API, node-addon-api must be updated to provide
wrappers for those new APIs. For this reason node-addon-api provides
methods that allow callers to obtain the underlying N-API handles so
direct calls to N-API and the use of the objects/methods provided by
node-addon-api can be used together. For example, in order to be able
to use an API for which the node-addon-api does not yet provide a wrapper.

APIs exposed by node-addon-api are generally used to create and
manipulate JavaScript values. Concepts and operations generally map
to ideas specified in the ECMA262 Language Specification.
