Yarn is an alternative npm-client used for working with JavaScript as a package manager that was developed by the Facebook team. It also allows us to share code with other developers around the world and use solutions from other developers. The code itself is distributed via packages, sometimes referred to as modules. The package contains a .package.json file which describes the contents, as well as all the associated distributed code. In comparison with npm, Yarn is considered to be a better alternative and surpasses NPM in the following parameters:

• Speed compared to the standard client, while there are comparisons and testing where Yarn was two to three times faster.
• Reliability of installation. The reliability is better for two reasons:
  • Short-term computer network problems can cause a failure in receiving packets.
  • When new versions of packages are released, there may be changes that are incompatible with other packages which could disrupt the application. Yarn addresses these two problems and solves them easily.
• Yarn is also compatible with Npm and Bower.
