graceful-fs enhances Node.js's built-in fs module to handle common errors more gracefully. It retries operations on EMFILE (too many open files) errors, improving reliability in scenarios with high file I/O concurrency. This package also addresses other file system quirks and inconsistencies across platforms, providing a more robust and predictable file system API. Using graceful-fs helps prevent application crashes and ensures smoother operation, especially in file-intensive applications.
