A node.js module for parsing form data, especially file uploads.

This module was developed for Transloadit, a service focused on uploading and encoding images and videos. It has been battle-tested against hundreds of GB of file uploads from a large variety of clients and is considered production-ready.

Features

  1. Fast (~500mb/sec), non-buffering multipart parser
  2. Automatically writing file uploads to disk
  3. Low memory footprint
  4. Graceful error handling
  5. Very high test coverage
