The process package provides access to the Node.js process object, even in browser environments. It's a crucial dependency for many libraries that rely on Node.js-specific features, enabling cross-platform compatibility. This package includes functionalities like accessing environment variables, handling process exit codes, and interacting with standard input/output streams. Using process ensures a consistent API for interacting with the current running process, regardless of the execution environment. Common use cases include debugging, configuration management, and platform-specific branching.
