@babel/plugin-syntax-import-attributes enables Babel to parse the import attributes syntax proposal. This allows you to specify additional information when importing modules, enhancing modularity and control over how modules are loaded and handled by the runtime environment. This syntax is useful for specifying attributes related to loading behavior (e.g., specifying an import assertion). It prepares Babel to correctly process the new syntax without necessarily transforming it.
@babel/plugin-syntax-import-attributes releases have been sporadic. There were releases in May, June, and November 2023.

Only one release occurred in April 2025, and no releases have happened since then, including August 2025.
@babel/plugin-syntax-import-attributes downloads show a steady increase from March 2024 to August 2025, peaking at 136 million. September 2025 downloads are significantly lower (43 million), likely due to the month being incomplete. The package experienced substantial growth throughout the observed period.
