npm-package-json-lint-config-default

9.0.1 verified Fri May 01 auth: no javascript

Default shareable configuration for npm-package-json-lint v10, providing a standard set of rules for linting package.json files. Current stable version 9.0.1 requires Node >=22, npm >=10, and npm-package-json-lint ^10.0.0 as a peer dependency. Release cadence is irregular, with breaking changes aligning with peer dependency updates (v4 dropped Node 10/12, v5 required npm-package-json-lint v6, v6 dropped Node 14, v7 dropped Node 16, v8 dropped Node 18, v9 requires Node 22). Key differentiators: authoritative default config from the npm-package-json-lint maintainer; simple extends-based setup; avoid duplicating rule configurations across projects.
