title: Announcing gRPC-JS 1.0

We are excited to announce the release of version 1.0 of gRPC-JS
([@grpc/grpc-js](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@grpc/grpc-js)),
a pure-TypeScript reimplementation of the original Node gRPC library,
[grpc](https://www.npmjs.com/package/grpc).
## Features
gRPC-JS supports the following features, which should cover most use cases:
+ Clients
+ Automatic reconnection
+ Servers
+ Streaming
+ Metadata
+ Partial compression support: clients can decompress response messages
+ Pick first and round robin load balancing policies
+ Client Interceptors
+ Connection Keepalives
+ HTTP Connect support (proxies)
## Should I use `@grpc/grpc-js` or `grpc`?
The original Node.js gRPC library ([grpc](https://www.npmjs.com/package/grpc)) has been deprecated,
so we recommend that you use ([@grpc/grpc-js](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@grpc/grpc-js)).
However, some advanced features haven't been ported to gRPC-JS yet,
such as full compression support or support for other load balancing policies.
If you need one of these features, you should use the original Node `grpc` library,
but file a [feature request](https://github.com/grpc/grpc-node/issues/new?template=feature_request.md)
for gRPC-JS to let us know which features you are missing the most.
