This package provides externs for Node.js, enabling type checking for Node.js code using the Closure Compiler. Externs define the external API surface of Node.js, allowing developers to write JavaScript code that interacts with Node.js APIs while maintaining type safety. It includes definitions for core modules like fs, http, and path, facilitating robust static analysis and reducing runtime errors in Node.js projects that leverage Closure Compiler for optimization and code quality.
