Node Package Manager (npm)

Node Package Manager (npm) is a tool that helps developers easily find, share, and manage code libraries or "packages" for use in their projects. Think of it like an app store for code—developers can download pre-made modules to add specific features quickly, rather than writing everything from scratch. npm also handles version control, ensuring projects stay consistent as dependencies update. It's widely used in JavaScript development, especially for building websites and applications, streamlining the process and promoting code reuse across the developer community.
