Announcing the new JavaScript API Client v4

What's this blog post about?

In early February, Algolia released the API Client JavaScript v4, a more powerful and efficient version of their JavaScript client. The new release is smaller in size compared to its predecessor, resulting in faster page loads. It also has zero dependencies, reducing the risk of third-party updates breaking the client. New features include advanced operations like zero-downtime reindexing and cross-account operations. The Algolia API Client JavaScript v4 is fully written in TypeScript for optimal developer experience and type safety. Developers can now build their own versions of the client, adapting it to their specific needs. The release is 100% open source, allowing developers to contribute improvements through GitHub pull requests.
