Mocha versions 0.0.2 and 0.0.3 represent early iterations of the popular JavaScript test framework. Both are described as a test framework inspired by JSpec, Expresso, and Qunit, indicating a focus on providing a flexible and expressive environment for writing tests. A quick look at the dependencies shows that both versions rely on commander version 0.3.2 for command-line argument parsing, and suggest using should version 0.3.x as a development dependency, implying a favored assertion library for writing test assertions.
The crucial difference lies in the release dates and version numbers. Mocha 0.0.2 was released on November 23, 2011, closely followed by version 0.0.3 on November 24, 2011. This suggests a rapid iteration and potential bug fixes or minor enhancements between the two versions. While the descriptions are identical, users should prefer version 0.0.3 as it represents the slightly newer and theoretically improved iteration. These early versions provide a foundational testing structure, highlighting TJ Holowaychuk's initial vision for Mocha as a versatile testing tool, though developers should acknowledge that these are very early releases and significant changes and improvements have occurred in subsequent versions of the library. Consider these versions for historical context or niche compatibility needs, but always prioritize the latest stable releases of Mocha for modern projects.
