Description
The dependency versioning file (often part of the package.json or similar files) defines version ranges for each dependency. These ranges help ensure that compatible versions of libraries are installed to avoid conflicts or issues arising from incompatible versions. In JavaScript projects, for example, you might see version ranges such as ^1.0.0 (meaning “compatible with 1.x.x”), ~1.0.0 (meaning “compatible with 1.0.x”), or >=1.0.0 (meaning “any version greater than or equal to 1.0.0”). These ranges allow the package manager (e.g., npm or Yarn) to install versions of dependencies that are compatible with the project while preventing potential issues from breaking changes introduced in major version updates. A dependency versioning file is critical for ensuring stability and compatibility across a web project, especially in larger, multi-developer environments.
