If you are looking to just modify the below options, using the object format is the quickest way to get the default features of libp2p. If you need to create a more customized libp2p node, such as with custom transports or peer/content routers that need some of the ipfs data on startup, a custom bundle is a great way to achieve this.
+ *                                             - You can see the bundle in action in the [custom libp2p example](https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/tree/master/examples/custom-libp2p).
