summary

Explains the end-to-end ES module load pipeline in Node.js — resolution, loading, parsing, compilation, linking, instantiation, and evaluation — and how responsibilities are divided between V8 and Node.js. Compares Node.js behavior to browsers and bundlers, and describes recent Node.js changes that enable improved interop, performance, and customization for ESM.
