| **Summary** | <p>It is the latest standard for working with modules in JavaScript and is supported in modern browsers and environments that transpile or support ES6, like TypeScript or Babel.</p> | <p>It was not originally part of JavaScript, but was adopted as the standard for Node.js, which has been routinely used in JavaScript server-side development.<br><br>While Node.js historically used CommonJS, it now also supports ES6 modules.</p> |

| **Exports** | <div><p>Static (pre-defined). The structure of the module's exports is determined when the code is parsed, not while running.</p><p>This static nature allows tooling such as bundlers and linters to analyze the code without executing it, enabling features like better tree-shaking and faster load times in browsers.</p> For example: <pre><code>// myModule.js export function myFunc() { /\*...\*/ } export const MY_CONST = 123;</code></pre></div> | <div><p>Computed during runtime. The exports in a module are determined during the execution of the code.</p>For example: <pre><code>// myModule.js if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') { module.exports.debug = function debug() { console.log('Debugging...'); } } else { module.exports.log = function log() { console.log('Logging...'); } }</code></pre></div> |

| **Loading Modules** | <div><p>Can be asynchronous, allowing efficient, selective loading of module parts. This can result in faster load times and better performance.</p>For example: <pre><code>import { myFunc } from './myModule.js'; myFunc();</code></pre></div> | <div><p>Synchronous (loads modules one by one). Always loads entire module, which could affect performance if the module is large.</p>For example: <pre><code>const { debug, log } = require('./myModule.js'); if(debug) debug(); if(log) log();</code></pre></div> |
