    Package.json is a file that describes a JavaScript project and its dependencies. It contains metadata like the project name, version, and dependencies. Dependencies can be regular dependencies or devDependencies. Semantic versioning uses X.Y.Z versions where updates to the leftmost number indicate breaking changes and updates to the right indicate backwards-compatible changes. Package.json files allow packages to specify the versions of dependencies they support using symbols like ~ and ^.

    Original Description:

    Understand your package.json in a javascript environment

    Each installed package have different versions based on releases and
    packages depends on other packages and they express those
    dependencies via version ranges.
