@putout/plugin-convert-commonjs-to-esm

CommonJS is a module system supported in Node, it provides a require function, which can be used to access the exports object exposed by another file.

EcmaScript module syntax is the standard way to import and export values between files in JavaScript. The import statement can be used to reference a value exposed by the export statement in another file.
