license-checker is a vital tool for software projects, enabling automated analysis of software dependencies to identify their licenses. This CLI tool scans your project's node_modules folder, generating reports detailing the licenses used by each package. Developers leverage it to ensure compliance with open-source licensing terms. Crucially, it helps mitigate legal risks by revealing potential licensing conflicts early in the development cycle. Output formats include JSON, CSV, and more, simplifying integration with diverse reporting systems and workflows.
