We have three types of nodes:

* [Native](/visual-builder/nodes/native-nodes.md)\
  Add a node to the standard library. Open-source and public
* [Web Assembly](/visual-builder/nodes/web-assembly-nodes.md)

  Create a node, upload the binary, and use it immediately.\
  These can be open or closed-source, public or private.
* [JS Node](/visual-builder/nodes/js-node.md)\
  Write nodes using Typescript/JavaScript, running in Deno runtime.
* [Mock](/visual-builder/nodes/mock-nodes.md)

  Diagram a node. Make it public to share it or to have someone build it for you

Users and developers can manage their WASM, JS, and Mock nodes from the Node Library.

## Defining node

Nodes are defined using a node definition file (JSON).
