@nestjs/core is the core module of the NestJS framework, a progressive Node.js framework for building efficient, reliable, and scalable server-side applications. It provides a solid architectural design based on TypeScript and decorators, allowing developers to easily create modular and maintainable code. NestJS leverages the power of Express.js under the hood while adding additional features like dependency injection, middleware, and decorators for routing.

Compared to traditional Node.js frameworks, NestJS offers a more structured and opinionated approach to building applications, making it suitable for large-scale projects. It promotes best practices like dependency injection and modular design, enhancing code reusability and testability.
