Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

   Limited language support beyond JavaScript

   Primary support is for JavaScript, with no official SDKs or libraries for other languages such as Python or Java.

2. 02

   Complex setup and configuration

   Setting up Cashify requires manual installation of dependencies and configuration of currency conversion rates, which can be error-prone.

3. 03

   Poor documentation for advanced features

   The official documentation lacks detailed examples and explanations for more complex use cases such as handling custom currencies or integrating with third-party APIs.

4. 04

   Performance issues under heavy load

   Cashify has been reported to experience performance degradation when processing a large volume of currency conversion requests simultaneously, leading to increased latency and potential service disruptions.
