This repository contains official JavaScript libraries and TypeScript definitions for Azure services. For documentation go to [Azure SDK for JavaScript documentation](https://aka.ms/js-docs).
For your convenience, each service has a separate set of libraries that you can choose to use instead of one, large Azure package. To get started with a specific library, see the **README.md** file located in the library's project folder. You can find service libraries in the `/sdk` directory.
New wave of packages that we are currently releasing in **Preview** and are released under the `npm` release named `next`. These libraries allow you to use and consume existing resources and interact with them. These libraries share a number of core functionalities such as retries, logging, transport protocols, authentication protocols, etc. Learn more about these libraries by reading [the guidelines](https://azure.github.io/azure-sdk/typescript/guidelines/) that they follow.
Last stable versions of packages that have been provided for usage with Azure and are production-ready. These libraries provide you with similar functionalities to the Preview ones as they allow you to use and consume existing resources and interact with them, for example: upload a blob.
Libraries which enable you to provision specific resources. They are responsible for directly mirroring and consuming Azure service's REST endpoints. You can recognize these libraries by `mgmt` or `arm` in their package names.
