UXP Plugin supports Node.js style fs and path modules. but technically they are not same as Node.js modules.

see more details on document.  
[fs module](https://developer.adobe.com/photoshop/uxp/2022/uxp-api/reference-js/Modules/fs/)

[window.path object](https://developer.adobe.com/photoshop/uxp/2022/uxp-api/reference-js/Global%20Members/Path/)

but as I said, Node.js and UXP have differences between them.  
I recommend to see UXP document carefully.  
you’ll see how different they are.

I needed to migrate an extension with HTTP, spawn child process, [socket.io](http://socket.io), and jrpc. So far I can’t make them work on the UXP framework. I’m really scared that I won’t be able to fully migrate our CEP extension. And I don’t find any confirmation if Adobe is going to drop support of CEP someday.

Yes, they are going to drop, but this won’t happen soon. I believe you have at least a couple of years (probably more), based on their scattered notes here and there
