What is the official full form of NPM according to its documentation? According to the official NPM documentation and website, NPM does not have an official full form anymore. Originally, NPM stood for Node Package Manager, because it was created to manage packages for Node.js. However, over time, npm has become simply a brand name or a proper noun on its own, without an expanded form. On the official npm website (https://www.npmjs.com/), you’ll find that they refer to it simply as “npm”, the package manager for JavaScript, without specifying a full form. In summary:
So, while many still think of NPM as "Node Package Manager," the official stance is that npm is just “npm” — a name representing the package manager for JavaScript. |
