About this tool

What package.json Generator does

The package.json Generator on DevBolt creates a foundational package.json file structure for development projects. Users select a framework preset—such as Next.js, React + Vite, Node.js CLI, npm Library, Express API, or Monorepo—and customize the project name, version, scripts, dependencies, module configuration, and exports. The tool produces a ready-to-use configuration file that can be downloaded or copied to the clipboard, with all processing occurring within the user's browser to keep data local.

Yes, the output includes the standard fields and dependencies for the chosen preset, so you can run 'npm install' right after creating the file.
