        <h2>Deprecated APIs<span><a class="mark" href="#deprecated-apis" id="deprecated-apis">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="deprecations_deprecated_apis"></a></h2>


<p>Node.js APIs might be deprecated for any of the following reasons:</p>
<ul>
<li>Use of the API is unsafe.</li>
<li>An improved alternative API is available.</li>
<li>Breaking changes to the API are expected in a future major release.</li>
</ul>
<p>Node.js uses four kinds of deprecations:</p>
<ul>
<li>Documentation-only</li>
<li>Application (non-<code>node_modules</code> code only)</li>
<li>Runtime (all code)</li>
<li>End-of-Life</li>
</ul>
<p>A Documentation-only deprecation is one that is expressed only within the
Node.js API docs. These generate no side-effects while running Node.js.
Some Documentation-only deprecations trigger a runtime warning when launched
with <a href="cli.html#--pending-deprecation"><code>--pending-deprecation</code></a> flag (or its alternative,
<code>NODE_PENDING_DEPRECATION=1</code> environment variable), similarly to Runtime
deprecations below. Documentation-only deprecations that support that flag
are explicitly labeled as such in the
<a href="#list-of-deprecated-apis">list of Deprecated APIs</a>.</p>
<p>An Application deprecation for only non-<code>node_modules</code> code will, by default,
generate a process warning that will be printed to <code>stderr</code> the first time
the deprecated API is used in code that's not loaded from <code>node_modules</code>.
When the <a href="cli.html#--throw-deprecation"><code>--throw-deprecation</code></a> command-line flag is used, a Runtime
deprecation will cause an error to be thrown. When
<a href="cli.html#--pending-deprecation"><code>--pending-deprecation</code></a> is used, warnings will also be emitted for
code loaded from <code>node_modules</code>.</p>
<p>A runtime deprecation for all code is similar to the runtime deprecation
for non-<code>node_modules</code> code, except that it also emits a warning for
code loaded from <code>node_modules</code>.</p>
<p>An End-of-Life deprecation is used when functionality is or will soon be removed
from Node.js.</p>
<section><h3>Revoking deprecations<span><a class="mark" href="#revoking-deprecations" id="revoking-deprecations">#</a></span><a aria-hidden="true" class="legacy" id="deprecations_revoking_deprecations"></a></h3>
<p>Occasionally, the deprecation of an API might be reversed. In such situations,
this document will be updated with information relevant to the decision.
However, the deprecation identifier will not be modified.</p>

<p>The <code>Buffer()</code> function and <code>new Buffer()</code> constructor are deprecated due to
API usability issues that can lead to accidental security issues.</p>
<p>As an alternative, use one of the following methods of constructing <code>Buffer</code>
objects:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="buffer.html#static-method-bufferallocsize-fill-encoding"><code>Buffer.alloc(size[, fill[, encoding]])</code></a>: Create a <code>Buffer</code> with
<em>initialized</em> memory.</li>
<li><a href="buffer.html#static-method-bufferallocunsafesize"><code>Buffer.allocUnsafe(size)</code></a>: Create a <code>Buffer</code> with
<em>uninitialized</em> memory.</li>
<li><a href="buffer.html#static-method-bufferallocunsafeslowsize"><code>Buffer.allocUnsafeSlow(size)</code></a>: Create a <code>Buffer</code> with <em>uninitialized</em>
memory.</li>
<li><a href="buffer.html#static-method-bufferfromarray"><code>Buffer.from(array)</code></a>: Create a <code>Buffer</code> with a copy of <code>array</code></li>
<li><a href="buffer.html#static-method-bufferfromarraybuffer-byteoffset-length"><code>Buffer.from(arrayBuffer[, byteOffset[, length]])</code></a> -
Create a <code>Buffer</code> that wraps the given <code>arrayBuffer</code>.</li>
<li><a href="buffer.html#static-method-bufferfrombuffer"><code>Buffer.from(buffer)</code></a>: Create a <code>Buffer</code> that copies <code>buffer</code>.</li>
<li><a href="buffer.html#static-method-bufferfromstring-encoding"><code>Buffer.from(string[, encoding])</code></a>: Create a <code>Buffer</code>
that copies <code>string</code>.</li>
</ul>
<p>Without <code>--pending-deprecation</code>, runtime warnings occur only for code not in
<code>node_modules</code>. This means there will not be deprecation warnings for
<code>Buffer()</code> usage in dependencies. With <code>--pending-deprecation</code>, a runtime
warning results no matter where the <code>Buffer()</code> usage occurs.</p>

<p>In an earlier version of the Node.js <code>cluster</code>, a boolean property with the name
<code>suicide</code> was added to the <code>Worker</code> object. The intent of this property was to
provide an indication of how and why the <code>Worker</code> instance exited. In Node.js
6.0.0, the old property was deprecated and replaced with a new
<a href="cluster.html#workerexitedafterdisconnect"><code>worker.exitedAfterDisconnect</code></a> property. The old property name did not
precisely describe the actual semantics and was unnecessarily emotion-laden.</p>

<p>Use of the <a href="crypto.html#cryptopbkdf2password-salt-iterations-keylen-digest-callback"><code>crypto.pbkdf2()</code></a> API without specifying a digest was deprecated
in Node.js 6.0 because the method defaulted to using the non-recommended
<code>'SHA1'</code> digest. Previously, a deprecation warning was printed. Starting in
Node.js 8.0.0, calling <code>crypto.pbkdf2()</code> or <code>crypto.pbkdf2Sync()</code> with
<code>digest</code> set to <code>undefined</code> will throw a <code>TypeError</code>.</p>
<p>Beginning in Node.js v11.0.0, calling these functions with <code>digest</code> set to
<code>null</code> would print a deprecation warning to align with the behavior when <code>digest</code>
is <code>undefined</code>.</p>
<p>Now, however, passing either <code>undefined</code> or <code>null</code> will throw a <code>TypeError</code>.</p>

implements the function in callback style but uses e.g. an async method which

<p>The well-known MODP groups <code>modp1</code>, <code>modp2</code>, and <code>modp5</code> are deprecated because
they are not secure against practical attacks. See <a href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8247#section-2.4">RFC 8247 Section 2.4</a> for
details.</p>
<p>These groups might be removed in future versions of Node.js. Applications that
rely on these groups should evaluate using stronger MODP groups instead.</p>
