# Branches

This repository has the following branches:

-   **main**: default branch generated from the [stdlib project][stdlib-url], where all development takes place.
-   **production**: [production build][production-url] of the package (e.g., reformatted error messages to reduce bundle sizes and thus the number of bytes transmitted over a network).
-   **esm**: [ES Module][esm-url] branch for use via a `script` tag without the need for installation and bundlers (see [README][esm-readme]).
-   **deno**: [Deno][deno-url] branch for use in Deno (see [README][deno-readme]).
-   **umd**: [UMD][umd-url] branch for use in Observable, or in dual browser/Node.js environments (see [README][umd-readme]).

The following diagram illustrates the relationships among the above branches:
