About:
Yarn is a fast, reliable, and secure dependency manager for JavaScript. It caches every package it downloads so it never needs to download it again. It also parallelizes operations to maximize resource utilization, making installs significantly faster.

Key Features:

Deterministic builds via lockfiles
Offline mode support
Zero-installs support
Plugin system for extensibility

Use Cases:

Managing dependencies in Node.js projects
Ensuring consistent package versions across teams
Accelerating CI/CD pipelines with caching

Alternatives:

npm – The default Node.js package manager; Yarn offers improved performance and stricter lockfile consistency
pnpm – Uses a content-addressable store to save disk space; Yarn focuses on stability and plugin ecosystem
