Audience: Yarn says it serves simple projects and industry monorepos, including open-source developers and enterprise users.
Workspaces: Workspaces let Yarn install and link packages in the same project, supporting monorepo workflows.
Plug'n'Play: Yarn PnP is the default installation strategy in modern Yarn and generates a Node.js loader file instead of a typical node_modules folder.
Alternative install modes: Yarn PnP can be replaced with node_modules installs or pnpm-style symlink-based installs.
Caching: Yarn caches installed packages by default and shares them across projects on the same machine.
Offline and zero installs: Yarn documents an offline mirror and zero-installs workflow that can keep cached packages in the repository and reduce reliance on the npm registry.
