What every developer should know about the Deno third party module registry
deno-blog.com@cdoremus

[Quote:]

The Deno third-party registry is a place for Deno developers to publish their Deno-compatible ESM modules. It is in essence the Deno equivalent of the npm package manager.

The data in the third-party registry is used as content for the Deno Third Party Modules page. Each module on that page’s list links to a page providing module details including documentation, version information and source code.

Both developers who create Deno libraries and users of those libraries should know how the third-party registry works and this post will fill in that gap.
