Intro

The following section tries to explain the core concepts behind the packageanalyzer.

Provider​

The job of the Provider is to fetch the package.json for a particular package.

Decorator​

The job of the Decorator is to collect extra data that should be made available when inspecting a package.

Package​

The job of the Package is to take the data that was provided by the Provider and (optionally) the Decorator and provide utility functions around them.

It's a nested data structure that resembles the dependency tree.
