The builtin-modules package provides a list of the modules that come pre-packaged with Node.js. These are modules that you can require in your code without needing to install them separately, as they are built into the Node.js runtime. This package is useful for developers who want to ensure they are using only core modules or need to check if a module name corresponds to a built-in module.
