library0.11.2jsnpmunverified

This package is the legacy Microsoft Azure Storage client library for Node.js, targeting the 2013-03-01 API version. It provides back compatibility for older versions of the Azure SDK for Node.js, offering blob, table, and queue storage services. The current stable version is 0.11.2, but it is no longer actively developed; users should migrate to @azure/storage-blob, @azure/storage-queue, and @azure/data-tables. This legacy library uses callback-based APIs and does not support modern async/await patterns or the latest Azure Storage features.
