# About this Documentation
doc: add links to alternative versions of doc Each page of the API documentation should have links to other versions of the same page. This will make it easier to switch between the current "live" release at nodejs.org and LTS versions.

Throughout the documentation are indications of a section's stability. Some APIs
are so proven and so relied upon that they are unlikely to ever change at all.
Others are brand new and experimental, or known to be hazardous.

Use caution when making use of Experimental features, particularly within
modules. End users may not be aware that experimental features are being used.
Bugs or behavior changes may surprise end users when Experimental API
modifications occur. To avoid surprises, use of an Experimental feature may need
a command-line flag. Experimental features may also emit a [warning][].
