Package Name
Noun · Open Source
Definitions
The identifier under which a package is published and installed in a package ecosystem. In practical terms, package names matter for discoverability, trust, collisions, and sometimes for security when lookalike names appear.
In plain English: The published name used to identify and install a package.
Example: "They changed the package name before launch because the original one was too generic and dangerously close to an unrelated widely downloaded library."
