Version 2.0.0 Details

Extract-zip version 2.0.0 brings several notable changes compared to the previous stable version 1.7.0, primarily focused on modernization and developer experience. One significant shift is the adoption of TypeScript for development, indicated by the inclusion of @typescript-eslint packages and typescript itself in the devDependencies. This suggests a move towards improved code maintainability and type safety, potentially leading to fewer runtime errors for users.

The dependency management also undergoes a notable transformation. Version 2.0.0 introduces get-stream as a dependency, replacing concat-stream and mkdirp from version 1.7.0. It also specifies a dependency to the @types/yauzl package, indicating a closer type definition integration. The devDependencies list in version 2.0.0 showcases a more modern toolchain with testing using ava and code linting with eslint alongside configuration for husky and lint-staged for improved code quality across contributions. The addition of nyc indicates improved testing coverage metrics.

The inclusion of development dependencies related to enhanced code quality, testing, and Typescript, suggests a focus on developer experience. While both versions rely on yauzl for zip file handling, v2.0.0 focuses on providing a more robust and developer-friendly experience through modern tooling and type safety. Ultimately, v2.0.0 has a heavier footprint due to those additions. This may represent a worthwhile exchange for improved development and maintenance of the library.
