• A portmanteau of “package document,” referring to the complete metadata object for an npm package that includes information about all available versions, distribution tags, and registry-specific metadata. Unlike a manifest (which describes a single package version), a packument provides a comprehensive view of a package’s entire version history and typically contains fields like name, dist-tags, and a versions object mapping version strings to their respective manifests.
