Introducing the Socket Python SDK
The initial version of the Socket Python SDK is now on PyPI, enabling developers to more easily interact with the Socket REST API in Python projects.

Advanced tools
The browser-resolve npm package is designed to resolve module dependencies in a way that is compatible with how browsers resolve modules, as opposed to the Node.js resolution algorithm. This is particularly useful for bundling packages for use in the browser where the Node.js module resolution strategy (e.g., handling of the 'main' field in package.json) does not apply.
Resolving browser-specific module entry points
This feature allows developers to resolve the path to a module's browser-specific entry point, if specified in the module's package.json, instead of the Node.js entry point. This is useful for bundling modules for the browser.
var resolve = require('browser-resolve');
resolve('module-name', { filename: '/path/to/file.js' }, function (err, res) {
if (err) console.log(err);
console.log(res);
});
Similar to browser-resolve, the 'resolve' package is a module resolution library for Node.js, mimicking Node's require/resolution mechanism. The key difference is that 'resolve' focuses on Node.js environments, while 'browser-resolve' targets browser environments, taking into account browser-specific fields in package.json.
Webpack is a powerful module bundler that can resolve dependencies and modules for browser environments. Unlike browser-resolve, which is a simple resolution library, webpack offers a wide range of features including bundling, minification, and plugin support. Webpack's resolution mechanism is more complex and configurable, designed for comprehensive build processes.
Browserify is a tool that allows developers to use Node.js-style modules in the browser. It resolves dependencies and bundles modules together. While browser-resolve provides the resolution logic similar to what Browserify uses under the hood, Browserify offers a complete bundling solution, transforming Node.js modules so they can run in the browser.
