Both are powerful package managers for JavaScript projects, but developers often debate which is better:

🔹 NPM
👉Comes pre-installed with Node.js
👉Huge ecosystem & widely adopted
👉Improved performance with recent versions

🔹 Yarn
👉Faster installs with caching
👉Deterministic dependency resolution (lockfile)
👉Great for monorepos and large projects

At the end of the day, it often comes down to team preference and project requirements.

👉 Personally, I’ve found Yarn to be smoother for larger apps, but NPM has caught up a lot in the past few years.
