Detailed Comparison

pnpm	nikic/fast-route
It uses hard links and symlinks to save one version of a module only ever once on a disk. When using npm or Yarn for example, if you have 100 projects using the same version of lodash, you will have 100 copies of lodash on disk. With pnpm, lodash will be saved in a single place on the disk and a hard link will put it into the node_modules where it should be installed.	Fast request router for PHP.
Fast. As fast as npm and Yarn; Efficient. One version of a package is saved only ever once on a disk; Great for multi-package repositories (a.k.a. monorepos); See the recursive commands; Strict. A package can access only dependencies that are specified in its package.json; Deterministic. Has a lockfile called pnpm-lock.yaml; Works everywhere. Works on Windows, Linux and OS X; Aliases. Install different versions of the same package or import it using a different name.	-
