Node Inspector is a powerful debugging tool for Node.js applications, providing an interactive interface for debugging Node.js code using the Chrome Developer Tools. It allows developers to set breakpoints, inspect variables, and step through code execution in a familiar and user-friendly environment.
Compared to built-in Node.js debugging tools, Node Inspector offers a more feature-rich and intuitive debugging experience. However, Node Inspector is marked as deprecated, and developers are encouraged to use the built-in Node.js debugger or alternative tools like ndb or Visual Studio Code's debugger for Node.js applications.
