NPM Community

Definitions

1. The ecosystem of maintainers, package authors, and users around npm and the broader JavaScript package world. In software culture, the npm community is known for extraordinary scale, fast iteration, and sometimes dramatic dependency-chain fragility.

   In plain English: The user and contributor community around npm and JavaScript packages.

   Example: "The npm community had already solved most of the build tooling problem, but the tradeoff was learning to live with a dependency graph that could get wild quickly."
