HTTP Methods List

The `methods` package, currently at version 1.1.2, provides a normalized, lower-cased array of HTTP method names supported by the Node.js runtime. This module serves as a robust alternative or enhancement to Node.js core's `http.METHODS`, especially for environments requiring broader compatibility. Its key differentiators include automatically lower-casing all method names for consistent usage and offering a fallback list for older Node.js versions (0.10 and below) that predate the `http.METHODS` export. Furthermore, it's designed to function seamlessly with browser bundling tools like Browserify without inadvertently pulling in the larger `http` shim module, making it lightweight for client-side use cases where a list of standard HTTP verbs is needed. The package is very stable, with infrequent updates, reflecting its foundational role and mature status within the Node.js ecosystem, particularly as a utility for web frameworks like Express.
