The InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) is a set of composable, peer-to-peer protocols for addressing, routing, and transferring content-addressed data in a decentralized file system. Many popular Web3 projects are built on IPFS - see the ecosystem directory for a list of some of these projects.

New to IPFS, JS implementation (alien.top)

Hi everyone. I'm new to IPFS and I want to use it to store data and files, using a React/Node.js app and a private blockchain. Anyway, I've seen that the main lib js-ipfs has been deprecated in favour of Helia.

Given the fact that I'm realizing a university project (nothing commercial), can I still use the old library instead of Helia? There are tons of guides, tutorials, examples of it while there is literally nothing about Helia (even the doc is everything but clear).

I've never seen anything saying IPFS was breaking compatibility with the old library, so it should be fine.

I assume you've seen the Helia git pages? It looks like they have a bunch of examples, though I've never tried to implement them.
