Tap-out is a lightweight Node.js library designed to parse TAP (Test Anything Protocol) output, offering an alternative to standard TAP parsers. Versions 1.1.0 and 1.1.2 share a common foundation, providing developers with a simple and efficient way to process TAP streams. Core dependencies like re-emitter, split, through2, and trim remain consistent between the versions, ensuring similar performance and core functionality for parsing and processing TAP data. Both versions are licensed under the MIT license, promoting open-source usage and contribution, and are hosted on GitHub, facilitating collaboration and issue tracking.
The key difference lies in the release date. Version 1.1.2 was released on April 1, 2015, while version 1.1.0 was released earlier, on December 29, 2014. Given that the dependencies and core functionalities are identical, the newer version likely includes bug fixes, minor performance enhancements, or other small refinements made after the initial 1.1.0 release. Developers employing tap-out should consider upgrading to version 1.1.2 for the most up-to-date and stable parsing experience. The library's small footprint and focused functionality make it a valuable tool for developers working with TAP output in testing environments, especially those utilizing the tape testing framework, declared as a dev dependency. The library facilitates easy integration into existing workflows by providing a stream based aproach for TAP parsing.
