Compare npm packages from the command line

There are over 350,000 packages on npm. There are more than a billion downloads per week. With so many new packages, it becomes difficult to select the right package for you projects.

Tools like npmcompare.com and npms.io make choosing easier.
Enter npm-compare
. Compare npm packages right from your terminal. Powered by the npms.io api.
Start using it right away by
$ npm install --global npm-compare
Although this shouldn’t be the only criteria for selecting a package. I hope this helps you make an informed decision.
Have a great day :)
