Bytes is a lightweight and versatile JavaScript utility designed for parsing and formatting byte sizes. It's incredibly useful for developers working with file sizes, storage capacities, or data transfer rates, simplifying the conversion between human-readable strings (like "10MB") and their numerical byte equivalents, and vice versa.
Comparing version 2.2.0 with the older 2.1.0 reveals a key difference in the specified version for the mocha testing framework. Version 2.2.0 explicitly requires mocha version 1.21.5, ensuring compatibility and potentially addressing any breaking changes introduced in later mocha versions. Version 2.1.0 uses a wildcard * for mocha, accepting any version. The specific versioning in 2.2.0 provides more stability and predictability concerning testing.
Both versions are licensed under the MIT license, encouraging broad usage and modification. They share the same author, repository, and core functionality. They both include the author, license, and the repository of the package. Also, both versions seem stable. The newer version was released in November 2015, approximately six months after version 2.1.0, which was released in May 2015. Developers should consider the explicit mocha dependency when choosing between versions, prioritizing 2.2.0 for projects requiring guaranteed compatibility with that specific testing framework version and favoring 2.1.0 for projects where the newest mocha features are important.
