The v8 module exposes APIs that are specific to the version of V8 built into the Node.js binary.

Example:

Javascript




// Accessing v8 module
const v8 = require('v8');
 
// Calling v8.getHeapStatistics()
console.log(v8.getHeapStatistics());
 






                        










Output:


{ total_heap_size: 6537216,
 total_heap_size_executable: 1048576,
 total_physical_size: 6537216,
 total_available_size: 1520717240,
 used_heap_size: 4199600,
 heap_size_limit: 1526909922,
 malloced_memory: 8192,
 peak_malloced_memory: 406408,
 does_zap_garbage: 0 }
