jest-snapshot is a core component of Jest, Facebook's widely-used JavaScript testing framework. This package enables snapshot testing, allowing you to capture and compare the output of components and functions over time. It automatically serializes data and compares it against previously stored snapshots, highlighting unexpected changes and ensuring UI consistency and functionality. With jest-snapshot, developers can easily detect regressions and maintain the integrity of their codebase. It's a crucial tool for efficient and reliable testing within the Jest ecosystem.
