A bad NPM package misses a license specification.

A clear license is essential for people to be able to safely reuse code (or know when not to), as all works are copyrighted by default. Otherwise, the user would run a legal risk by using the package.

Static typing is better than dynamic typing in programming languages.

The majority of errors in a typical application are not mixed-up *types*, but rather mixed-up *purposes* of a variable or argument. This benefit is therefore relatively insignificant.

A good NPM package follows semver.

There is always a risk of an author incorrectly versioning their package, and an application unexpectedly breaking because of that.

A good NPM package follows semver.
