Every day, Bun gets closer to 100% Node.js API compatibility. Popular projects like Next.js, Express, and millions of `npm` packages intended for Node.js just work with Bun out of the box.
This page is updated regularly to reflect compatibility status of the latest version of Bun. The information below reflects Bun's compatibility with _Node.js v23_. If you run into any bugs with a particular package, please [open an issue](https://bun.sh/issues). Opening issues for compatibility bugs helps us prioritize what to work on next.
## Built-in modules
### [`node:assert`](https://nodejs.org/api/assert.html)
🟢 Fully implemented.
### [`node:buffer`](https://nodejs.org/api/buffer.html)
🟢 Fully implemented.

🟢 Fully implemented. > 90% of Node.js's test suite passes.
### [`node:events`](https://nodejs.org/api/events.html)
🟢 Fully implemented. `EventEmitterAsyncResource` uses `AsyncResource` underneath. > 90% of Node.js's test suite passes.
### [`node:http`](https://nodejs.org/api/http.html)
🟢 Fully implemented. Outgoing client request body is currently buffered instead of streamed.
### [`node:https`](https://nodejs.org/api/https.html)
🟢 APIs are implemented, but `Agent` is not always used yet.
### [`node:os`](https://nodejs.org/api/os.html)
🟢 Fully implemented. 100% of Node.js's test suite passes.
### [`node:path`](https://nodejs.org/api/path.html)
🟢 Fully implemented. 100% of Node.js's test suite passes.
### [`node:punycode`](https://nodejs.org/api/punycode.html)
🟢 Fully implemented. 100% of Node.js's test suite passes, _deprecated by Node.js_.
### [`node:querystring`](https://nodejs.org/api/querystring.html)
🟢 Fully implemented. 100% of Node.js's test suite passes.
### [`node:readline`](https://nodejs.org/api/readline.html)
🟢 Fully implemented.
### [`node:string_decoder`](https://nodejs.org/api/string_decoder.html)
🟢 Fully implemented. 100% of Node.js's test suite passes.
### [`node:timers`](https://nodejs.org/api/timers.html)
🟢 Recommended to use global `setTimeout`, et. al. instead.
### [`node:tty`](https://nodejs.org/api/tty.html)
🟢 Fully implemented.
### [`node:url`](https://nodejs.org/api/url.html)
🟢 Fully implemented.
### [`node:zlib`](https://nodejs.org/api/zlib.html)
🟢 Fully implemented. 98% of Node.js's test suite passes.
### [`node:async_hooks`](https://nodejs.org/api/async_hooks.html)
🟡 Only `AsyncLocalStorage`, and `AsyncResource` are implemented. `AsyncResource` is missing `bind`.
### [`node:async_hooks`](https://nodejs.org/api/async_hooks.html)
🟡 Only `AsyncLocalStorage`, and `AsyncResource` are implemented. `AsyncResource` is missing `bind`.
### [`node:child_process`](https://nodejs.org/api/child_process.html)
🟡 Missing `proc.gid` `proc.uid`. `Stream` class not exported. IPC cannot send socket handles. Node.js <> Bun IPC can be used with JSON serialization.
### [`node:cluster`](https://nodejs.org/api/cluster.html)
🟡 Handles and file descriptors cannot be passed between workers, which means load-balancing HTTP requests across processes is only supported on Linux at this time (via `SO_REUSEPORT`). Otherwise, implemented but not battle-tested.
### [`node:crypto`](https://nodejs.org/api/crypto.html)
🟡 Missing `Certificate` `ECDH` `X509Certificate` `checkPrime` `checkPrimeSync` `diffieHellman` `generatePrime` `generatePrimeSync` `getCipherInfo` `getFips` `hkdf` `hkdfSync` `secureHeapUsed` `setEngine` `setFips`
Some methods are not optimized yet.

🟡 Missing `Domain` `active`
### [`node:fs`](https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html)
🟡 Missing `statfs` `statfsSync`, `opendirSync`. `Dir` is partially implemented.

🟡 Client & server are implemented (95.25% of gRPC's test suite passes). Missing `options.allowHTTP1`, `options.enableConnectProtocol`, ALTSVC extension, and `http2stream.pushStream`.
### [`node:module`](https://nodejs.org/api/module.html)
🟡 Missing `runMain` `syncBuiltinESMExports`, `Module#load()`. Overriding `require.cache` is supported for ESM & CJS modules. `module._extensions`, `module._pathCache`, `module._cache` are no-ops. `module.register` is not implemented and we recommend using a [`Bun.plugin`](https://bun.sh/docs/runtime/plugins) in the meantime.
### [`node:net`](https://nodejs.org/api/net.html)
🟡 `SocketAddress` class not exposed (but implemented). `BlockList` exists but is a no-op.
### [`node:perf_hooks`](https://nodejs.org/api/perf_hooks.html)
🟡 Missing `createHistogram` `monitorEventLoopDelay`. It's recommended to use `performance` global instead of `perf_hooks.performance`.
### [`node:process`](https://nodejs.org/api/process.html)

🟡 `writeHeapSnapshot` and `getHeapSnapshot` are implemented. `serialize` and `deserialize` use JavaScriptCore's wire format instead of V8's. Other methods are not implemented. For profiling, use [`bun:jsc`](https://bun.sh/docs/project/benchmarking#bunjsc) instead.
### [`node:vm`](https://nodejs.org/api/vm.html)
🟡 Core functionality works, but experimental VM ES modules are not implemented, including `vm.Module`, `vm.SourceTextModule`, `vm.SyntheticModule`,`importModuleDynamically`, and `vm.measureMemory`. Options like `timeout`, `breakOnSigint`, `cachedData` are not implemented yet.
### [`node:wasi`](https://nodejs.org/api/wasi.html)
