    There is a popular framework for using JavaScript to write backend applications, which is called Node.js.
    And then for that framework, they created a package manager, the Node Package Manager – NPM.

    Nowadays, NPM is used even for frontend code and independent of Node.js, because there is no real other package manager for JavaScript.

      Not nitpicking but there Node.js is technically a JS runtime (built with V7 engine), not a framework. Express.js is the actual framework that runs on Node.js.
