JavaScript API Deprecation Landscape: A Survey and Mining Study
Romulo Nascimento, Eduardo Figueiredo, André Hora
Abstract
JavaScript provides no native deprecation mechanisms. To assess how developers deprecate JavaScript application programming interfaces (APIs), we report the results of a survey and a mining study on JavaScript developers and projects. The results suggest several solutions but no standard solution to deprecate JavaScript APIs.
