The @types/node package provides TypeScript definitions for Node.js, enabling developers to leverage the power of TypeScript's static typing within their Node.js projects. This ensures better code quality, improved maintainability, and reduced runtime errors through compile-time checks. Comparing version 22.13.1 and 22.13.0, both share the same core functionality and dependency on undici-types at version "~6.20.0". The core dependencies and peer dependencies remain the same, which is expected for patch updates. They are both released under the MIT license, promoting open-source usage and contribution. Both versions are sourced from the DefinitelyTyped repository on GitHub, specifically from the "types/node" directory which makes sure they are the defacto standard.
The slight differences lie in the details of their distribution packages. Version 22.13.1 has a slightly smaller unpacked size of 2311239 bytes compared to version 22.13.0's 2311331 bytes. While the number of files remains consistent at 76, the package manager might handle the newer differently. The most notable difference is the release date, with 22.13.1 being released on February 4, 2025, and 22.13.0 on January 31, 2025. Developers should prioritize using the newest version of npm packages to receive the latest performance and security upgrades, meaning 22.13.1 is likely the best choice.
