The npm package mdn-data provides structured, open web data sourced directly from the Mozilla Developer Network (MDN). Version 2.0.33, released on August 21, 2023, succeeds version 2.0.32 which was released on May 12, 2023. Both versions share the same core characteristics: they're licensed under CC0-1.0 (meaning you can freely use, modify, and distribute the data), maintained by the Mozilla Developer Network, and rely on ajv and better-ajv-errors as development dependencies for validation and error reporting respectively.
The primary difference between versions 2.0.32 and 2.0.33 lies in the data they contain and the build artifacts. The newer version, 2.0.33, represents the most recent snapshot of MDN's web data as of its release date, meaning it incorporates any additions, updates, or corrections made to the data between the two releases. From a developer's perspective, this is crucial: using 2.0.33 ensures access to the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding web technologies, browser compatibility, and related specifications. This difference is also reflected in the increased unpackedSize of the newer version (636013 bytes vs 626360 bytes) which suggests a non-negligible amount of new data added. The fileCount however is the same between both versions. So, while the structure has not been modified, valuable information has been added.
For developers utilizing mdn-data, upgrading to version 2.0.33 is generally recommended to benefit from the latest data refinements. This can be important for applications like linters, code completion tools, documentation generators, and browser compatibility checkers that benefit from accurate web data.
