Node.js v24.8.0 has been released.

Notable Changes

HTTP/2 Network Inspection Support in Node.js

Node.js now supports inspection of HTTP/2 network calls in Chrome DevTools for Node.js.

Usage

Write a test.js script that makes HTTP/2 requests.

const http2 = require('node:http2');

const client = http2.connect('https://nghttp2.org');

const req = client.request([
  ':path', '/',
  ':method', 'GET',
]);

Run it with these options:

node --inspect-wait --experimental-network-inspection test.js

Open about:inspect on Google Chrome and click on Open dedicated DevTools for Node.
The Network tab will let you track your HTTP/2 calls.
