Modern JS Package Registry

An open-source package registry designed for modern JavaScript and TypeScript development, created by the Deno team to address limitations of the traditional npm ecosystem. The registry natively understands TypeScript, automatically generating documentation, type definitions, and type checking for every published package without requiring separate type declaration files. Packages are distributed as ECMAScript modules, ensuring compatibility with Deno, Node.js, Bun, and modern browsers without transpilation or CommonJS interop layers. The platform enforces a strict naming convention using scoped packages, eliminating naming squatting and typosquatting risks that plague the npm registry. Featured packages include type-safe query builders like Kysely, utility libraries like es-toolkit, validation libraries like Zod, and AI tooling like FastMCP. The registry integrates deeply with GitHub and GitLab for authentication and continuous publishing through GitHub Actions. A key innovation is the score system, which evaluates packages based on whether they include documentation, tests, and proper README files, helping developers identify quality packages at a glance. The platform also provides a global CDN for fast downloads, API access for programmatic package queries, and npm compatibility through a proxy that allows installing any registry package in Node.js projects with a simple import map configuration. Developers can browse packages by category, view download statistics, and access automatically generated API documentation.
