Express-NTLM is a middleware for Express.js applications, designed to simplify the implementation of NTLM authentication. Versions 2.2.2 and 2.2.3 offer seemingly identical functionality based on their metadata, both providing a straightforward way to integrate NTLM authentication into your Express applications. Both versions rely on the same dependencies: async for asynchronous control flow and underscore for utility functions, ensuring consistent behavior in dealing with asynchronous operations and data manipulation commonly found in authentication processes. The express dependency, crucial for integration into Express.js applications, remains at version 4.10.4 for both versions. This indicates that updates are not related to mainstream upgrades.
Both versions appear to maintain the same BSD-2-Clause license, offering developers a permissive license for use and modification. The repository URL remains consistent, suggesting that underlying code structure and maintenance location haven't shifted. Authored by Fabio Poloni and associated with APP-roved.com, the package provides an authentication solution that may be applicable in enterprise environments, with the newer 2.2.3 available as a tarball from npm. The key difference lies in the release date, with version 2.2.3 released on June 15, 2017, following version 2.2.2 released on April 30, 2017. The later version may contain minor bug fixes, performance improvements, or very incremental updates that weren't significant enough to warrant changes in dependencies or documented features. Developers should consider using the latest version, assuming it benefits from the improvements of the latest release date.
