Nodemon is a utility tool for Node.js applications that automatically restarts the server when file changes are detected. It is commonly used during the development phase to streamline the development process and eliminate the need for manual server restarts. Nodemon enhances the developer experience by saving time and effort, allowing for real-time code changes without interrupting the workflow.
Compared to manually restarting the server or using other similar tools like PM2, Nodemon offers a lightweight and easy-to-use solution specifically tailored for Node.js development. Its seamless integration with Node.js applications makes it a popular choice among developers for improving productivity and efficiency.
