Command line tool for sharing Elm libraries and managing dependencies in Elm projects.
elm-package is the official package manager for the Elm programming language that handles dependency management and library sharing. It provides tools for installing, updating, and publishing Elm packages while ensuring semantic versioning compatibility. The tool helps Elm developers maintain reliable builds and share reusable code with the community.
Elm developers who need to manage dependencies in their projects or want to publish reusable libraries to the Elm package ecosystem. It's essential for anyone building production Elm applications.
As the official package manager, elm-package provides guaranteed compatibility with Elm's compiler and enforces semantic versioning to prevent breaking changes. Its integration with Elm's type system ensures reliable dependency resolution that other package managers can't match.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Seamlessly integrates with Elm's compiler, ensuring reliable builds and compatibility as highlighted in the value proposition, reducing toolchain fragmentation.
Automatically resolves compatible package versions using semantic versioning, preventing breaking changes and ensuring stable dependencies, per the project philosophy.
Simplifies publishing libraries to the official Elm package repository, facilitating easy sharing and discovery within the Elm ecosystem.
Initializes new Elm projects with proper package structure, helping developers set up consistent and maintainable codebases quickly.
Merged into elm/compiler as stated in the README, meaning it's no longer actively developed separately and may have limited updates or support.
Only useful within the Elm language, making it unsuitable for polyglot projects or those integrating with other frameworks like React or Vue.
Lacks advanced features common in modern package managers, such as script running, plugin systems, or offline caching, limiting flexibility for complex workflows.
