@sinonjs/text-encoding

Registry deprecationdanger

The registry marks the entire package as deprecated because it is no longer maintained or used by Sinon packages. This is a direct adoption warning, not merely a release-specific withdrawal.

Repo commit activitydanger

The repository recorded zero commits and zero active maintainers over the last 3 months, reinforcing the abandonment risk shown by the archived status.

Repository archiveddanger

The linked repository is archived, indicating the project is no longer an active maintenance target. The recorded last push does not offset the repository's archived state.

Name lookalikecaution

The package resembles the much more widely downloaded `encoding` package and its README identifies it as a fork, but artifact overlap is only 0.5 and it does not borrow the lookalike's identity. This is a transparency caution rather than evidence of a copy intended to mislead.

Release historycaution

The package has only 3 releases, with no releases in the last 12 months and a median interval of about 2.8 years. This supports the broader evidence of inactive maintenance.
