nyc
NYC is a command-line interface for Istanbul. It provides a simple way to instrument and report code coverage for your JavaScript applications. NYC is often used in conjunction with testing frameworks like Mocha or Jest. Compared to 'istanbul-api', NYC is more user-friendly and easier to integrate into existing projects.
c8
C8 is a code coverage tool built on top of V8's built-in code coverage capabilities. It provides a fast and accurate way to measure code coverage for Node.js applications. C8 is particularly useful for projects that require high performance and accuracy. Unlike 'istanbul-api', C8 leverages V8's native coverage features, making it faster and more efficient.
jest
Jest is a JavaScript testing framework that comes with built-in code coverage support. It uses Istanbul under the hood to generate coverage reports. Jest provides an all-in-one solution for testing and coverage, making it a popular choice for many JavaScript projects.
