Both NPM and PNPM are tools that help developers install and manage JavaScript libraries (packages) in their projects. NPM is the default package manager that comes with Node.js and is widely used, while PNPM is a faster alternative that saves disk space by using a unique storage method. PNPM creates hard links to a single package storage instead of copying files for each project, making it more efficient.
Both npm and pnpm are package managers for JavaScript, but pnpm has some unique features like content-addressed storage, which makes it faster and more efficient. npm has a more extensive set of built-in features, including two-factor authentication and package locking.
Both npm and pnpm support TypeScript out of the box.
Both npm and pnpm are designed for use in Node.js environments, but pnpm can also be used in the browser with some additional setup.
npm has a more extensive set of dependencies, including a built-in package lock file and a more comprehensive set of package management tools. pnpm has a more lightweight set of dependencies, which can make it faster and more efficient.
pnpm is generally faster and more efficient than npm, thanks to its content-addressed storage and other performance optimizations.
Both npm and pnpm are compatible with most popular JavaScript frameworks, including React, Angular, and Vue.
npm has a more extensive and active community, thanks to its long history and widespread adoption. pnpm has a smaller but still active community.
Both npm and pnpm have high-quality documentation, with extensive guides and tutorials available.
npm is maintained by the Node.js Foundation, while pnpm is maintained by a smaller team of developers. Despite this, both packages are actively maintained and updated regularly.
1npm install expressThis code installs the Express.js framework using npm.
1pnpm add expressThis code installs the Express.js framework using pnpm.
Both npm and pnpm are high-quality package managers, but pnpm is generally faster and more efficient.
A fast and reliable package manager created by Facebook. Yarn was made to solve NPM's early performance and security issues, using a lockfile to ensure consistent installations across different machines.
Yarn is the most established NPM alternative, with great documentation and wide community support. It's very beginner-friendly and works almost exactly like NPM, making it easy to switch.
Package ManagerA super-fast all-in-one JavaScript runtime and package manager. Bun is written in a low-level language (Zig) and focuses on being incredibly fast - much faster than NPM or Yarn.
While newer, Bun is gaining popularity because it's extremely fast and can replace both Node.js and NPM. It's perfect for developers who want better performance and simpler tooling.
Package Manager & RuntimeA next-generation package manager from Vercel that replaces NPM. It's designed to be incredibly fast and work well with monorepos (projects with multiple packages).
Turbo is great for larger projects and teams that need better performance. It's backed by Vercel (creators of Next.js) and has excellent documentation.
Package ManagerA smart package manager helper that automatically detects and uses the right package manager for your project. It works with NPM, Yarn, PNPM, and Bun.
Perfect for developers who work on different projects that use different package managers. It's like a universal remote control for package managers.
