NPM Package READMEs
Description
This JSON file contains README information for 925, 317 NPM packages. Package README information was downloaded by:
- Using https://github.com/nice-registry/all-the-package-names to get a list of all package names.
- For each package, looking at the readme field on https://registry.npmjs.org/<package>
- Where packages were missing a readme field, sometimes the readme is instead in the versions field. We look for the latest version with a readme field.
- Where the package has no readme field at all, we use the repository field to look for common README file names in the github repo.
For 1106544 packages, 925, 317 have a README file.
