Word-wrap is a lightweight npm package designed to wrap words to a specified length, improving text readability and formatting within applications. Version 1.0.2 and 1.0.1 share the same core functionality of wrapping text but differ slightly in their metadata. Both versions rely on Mocha and Should for development dependencies, ensuring consistent testing and quality assurance. Notably, both versions credit Jon Schlinkert as the author, and the repository remains consistent, indicating a stable and well-maintained project.
The key difference lies in the presence of a license property in version 1.0.2 explicitly defining the MIT license with a link to the license file on GitHub. While version 1.0.1 implicitly uses the MIT license (as is common with Schlinkert's projects), version 1.0.2 makes it explicit, offering clear legal guidance for developers. Furthermore, the release date distinguishes the two versions, with 1.0.2 being released on March 7, 2015, subsequent to 1.0.1's release on February 27, 2015. This suggests potential bug fixes, minor improvements, or enhanced documentation in the newer version. Developers choosing between the two might prefer 1.0.2 for its explicit licensing and potentially more refined code. Both packages are easily accessible via npm and offer a straightforward solution for text formatting needs within various projects.
