is this still maintained?

I have the same question.

[B0tCreati0n]

it is 2 years ago that it was last updated sooo. NO

[windsurfer1122]

No new maintainer for the npm package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/crypto-js
And with 2.8k forks finding a well maintained one is difficult.
Didn't find a good alternative yet.
For node.js most people use the standard crypto module.

Best would be a team (GitHub "organization") creates a fork and takes over.

Maybe you could try CryptoES.
Its APIs are all the same with CryptoJS, and with a better support for TypeScript.

That's a great find, thanks very much!

Besides CryptoES looks rougly 4 times faster for AES encrypt / decrypt on a development machine AMD Ryzen 7 5800H, Win 10 Node 18 LTS. The JSON is ~400 bytes length.

// The encryption takes ~50 microseconds on CryptoES and ~200 microseconds on CryptoJS
const str = JSON.stringify(fixture);
const ciphertext = CryptoES.AES.encrypt(str, secret).toString();

// The decryption + JSON.parse takes ~40 microseconds on CryptoES and ~150 microseconds on CryptoJS
const bytes = CryptoES.AES.decrypt(ciphertext!, secret);
const str = bytes.toString(CryptoES.enc.Utf8);
const json = JSON.parse(str);

Yes I've since moved to CryptoES, thanks @WhereJuly

I`ve moved to CryptoES, but it is just as slow with 8MB base64 string encrypting
