builtin-modules

The 'builtin-modules' package provides a list of the built-in modules of Node.js. It is similar to 'is-builtin-module' but instead of checking if a module is built-in, it provides the full list of built-in modules. You can use this list to check for built-in modules manually.

resolve

The 'resolve' package is a module resolution algorithm for Node.js, similar to the one used by 'require'. It can be used to check if a module is resolvable and, by extension, to infer if it is a built-in module. However, it is more general-purpose and not specifically designed for checking built-in modules.
