Probably the most important change from NPM is that from now it will support to manage multiple packages from within a single top-level root package.
 How NPM workspaces work you can find out <a href='https://github.com/npm/rfcs/blob/latest/implemented/0026-workspaces.md' target='_blank'>here.</a>
 In version NPM 7.0.0 <a href='https://github.com/npm/rfcs/blob/latest/implemented/0025-install-peer-deps.md' target='_blank'>installs peer dependencies</a> will be available, developers won't have to manage these anymore.
 
 NPM 7.0.0 new capabilities 
 <ul>
 <li>A new <a href='https://blog.npmjs.org/post/621733939456933888/npm-v7-series-why-keep-package-lockjson' target='_blank'>package-lock</a> format will enable deterministically reproducible builds and has what NPM needs to build the package tree. The NPM CLI now can use yarn.lock as a source of package metadata and resolution guidance</li>
 <li>A refactoring of NPM internals, with an emphasis on separation of concerns. Internal changes are intended to ensure that the NPM code base is more reliable over time and easier to maintain. With this refactoring, the inspection and management of the node_modules tree has been moved to the Arborist module, for example. <a href='https://github.com/npm/arborist' target='_blank'>The refactoring is expected to result in faster deliveries of NPM updates</a></li>
 <li>In a breaking change, the output of npm audit has significantly changed both in the human-readable and --json output styles</li>
 </ul>
