Deno vs. JavaScript vs. PDF-LIB vs. Rust Comparison Chart

Deno is a simple, modern and secure runtime for JavaScript, TypeScript, and WebAssembly that uses V8 and is built in Rust. Deno comes with a manual which contains more in depth explanations about the more complex functions of the runtime, an introduction to the concepts that Deno is built on, details about the internals of Deno, how to embed Deno in your own application and how to extend Deno using Rust plugins. Next to the Deno runtime, Deno also provides a list of audited standard modules that are reviewed by the Deno maintainers and are guaranteed to work with a specific Deno version. These live in the denoland/deno_std repository.

Create and modify PDF documents in any JavaScript environment. Create PDF documents from scratch, or modify existing PDF documents. Draw text, images, and vector graphics. Embed your own fonts. Even embed and draw pages from other PDFs. Written in TypeScript and compiled to pure JavaScript with no native dependencies. Works in any JavaScript runtime, including browsers, Node, Deno, and even React Native. Add, insert, and remove pages. Split a single PDF into separate ones. Or merge multiple PDFs into a single document. Create new forms or fill and read existing fields. Checkboxes, buttons, radio groups, dropdowns, option lists, and text fields are all supported. If you aren't using a package manager, UMD modules are available on the unpkg and jsDelivr CDNs. Note that only some PDF readers can view attachments. This includes Adobe Reader, Foxit Reader, and Firefox. If you are using the CDN scripts in production, you should include a specific version number in the URL.
