Bytes is a utility package designed for parsing human-readable byte strings into their numerical byte equivalents and vice versa. Versions 2.2.0 and 2.3.0 both offer this core functionality, allowing developers to easily convert strings like "1KB" into 1024 or format 2048 bytes as "2KB". Both versions maintain consistent licensing under the MIT license and are authored by TJ Holowaychuk.
A notable difference lies in the repository URL within the package metadata. Version 2.3.0 specifies a git+https protocol for its repository URL, whereas version 2.2.0 uses just https. This might reflect an update in how the repository connection is handled or a slight change in tooling used to publish the package.
The release dates highlight the timeline: version 2.2.0 was released in November 2015, while version 2.3.0 followed in February 2016. This suggests a relatively short period between the releases, implying that version 2.3.0 might contain bug fixes, performance improvements, or minor feature enhancements built upon the existing functionality of version 2.2.0. Developers should consider this update when seeking the most recent stable version for their projects. If you are using bytes on production environments, checking the changelog between the two versions would provide insight if the update is relevant to your project.
Both versions use Mocha as a development dependency for testing, ensuring code quality and reliability.
