Summary

  • Updated to Node.js 18+ with native fetch API and modern JavaScript features
  • Migrated from Mocha to Vitest testing framework with improved performance
  • Added comprehensive security enhancements and PCI compliance features
  • Implemented connection pooling and intelligent retry logic for better reliability

Test plan

  • All existing tests pass with new Vitest framework
  • Integration tests validate OFX protocol compatibility
  • New error handling maintains backward compatibility
  • Connection pooling improves performance under load
  • Retry logic handles transient network failures
  • Security features protect sensitive banking data

Major modernization initiative across all areas:

Dependencies & Security:
- Update Node.js requirement to 18+ with modern CI/CD
- Replace deprecated request library with native fetch API
- Resolve all security vulnerabilities and update dependencies
- Add comprehensive security-focused ESLint configuration

Modern JavaScript Features:
- Convert callback patterns to async/await with dual API support
- Replace var declarations with const/let throughout codebase
- Implement template literals for cleaner string operations
- Add destructuring assignments and optional chaining
- Support ES6+ features while maintaining backward compatibility

Testing & Quality Infrastructure:
- Migrate from Mocha to Vitest for modern testing capabilities
- Add comprehensive ESLint rules for banking domain security
- Implement Prettier for consistent code formatting
- Create complete TypeScript definitions for type safety
- Add extensive integration tests for all banking operations

Performance & Architecture:
- Implement HTTP connection pooling with banking-appropriate limits
- Add intelligent timeout and retry logic with exponential backoff
- Optimize OFX parsing performance for large datasets
- Create structured error classes with PCI compliance features
- Add secure caching layer with encryption and TTL management

Banking Domain Features:
- Support for major banks (Wells Fargo, Chase, Bank of America, etc.)
- PCI DSS compliant error handling and data protection
- Production-ready monitoring and metrics collection
- Comprehensive documentation and examples
- Enterprise-grade security and reliability features

The library now provides modern, secure, and performant banking operations
