Other packages similar to trim

lodash.trim

Lodash provides a trim function that removes whitespace from the beginning and end of a string. It is part of the larger lodash library, which offers a wide range of utility functions for different types of data manipulation. Compared to the standalone trim package, lodash.trim comes with the overhead of the larger lodash library, but it benefits from the robustness and additional features that lodash offers.

string.prototype.trim

This package is a polyfill for the String.prototype.trim method, which is natively available in modern JavaScript environments. It ensures compatibility with older browsers that do not support the trim method. Unlike the trim package, which is a standalone utility, this package is specifically designed to polyfill the native method when it's not available.
