Commonly Used Libraries

JavaScript libraries are generally organized into modules, while Python uses modules for similar functionality. JavaScript libraries often require explicit import statements, whereas Python’s built-in libraries are readily available, and external libraries can be imported as needed.

Let’s explore some common JavaScript libraries and their Python equivalents, focusing on commonly used functions and their use cases.

File I/O operations

• JavaScript: The fs module in JavaScript, particularly Node.jsNode.js is a cross-platform, open-source JavaScript runtime environment. Node.js runs on the V8 JavaScript engine, and executes JavaScript code outside a web browser. Node.js lets developers use JavaScript to write command line tools and for server-side scripting., provides classes for input/output operations, such as reading from files or writing to them.

• Python: Python’s built-in io module and other I/O-related modules handle similar tasks.

In Python, we can use the built-in io module as follows:
