CommonJS CommonJS — require() works on every Node.js version
dlv ships CommonJS only. require("dlv") works everywhere. import "dlv" also works because Node.js and Bun can import CommonJS from ES modules, but only the default export is guaranteed; named imports depend on Node's static analysis of the module.
It also declares a "module" field, so bundlers such as webpack, Vite and esbuild pick up an ESM build for tree-shaking.
