What is the difference between CommonJS and ES Modules in Node.js?

CommonJS is the traditional Node.js module system that uses require() and module.exports for importing and exporting code. ES Modules use import and export syntax based on the modern JavaScript standard. ES Modules provide better compatibility with browsers, static analysis, and modern JavaScript features. Node.js supports both module systems depending on configuration.
