+simplify the use of the C based Node-API provided by Node.js when using C++.
+It provides a C++ object model and exception handling semantics with low
+overhead.
+
+Node-API is an ABI stable C interface provided by Node.js for building native
+addons.  It is intended to insulate native addons from changes in the
+underlying JavaScript engine and allow modules compiled for one version to run
+on later versions of Node.js without recompilation.  The @code{node-addon-api}
+module, which is not part of Node.js, preserves the benefits of the Node-API
+as it consists only of inline code that depends only on the stable API
+provided by Node-API.
+
+It is important to remember that @emph{other} Node.js interfaces such as
+@code{libuv} (included in a project via @code{#include <uv.h>}) are not
+ABI-stable across Node.js major versions.")
