npmx.dev supports npm-compatible URLs and simpler alternatives.

## Use npm-compatible URLs

Replace `npmjs.com` with `npmx.dev` (or `xnpmjs.com`) in any npm URL:

| npm URL                         | npmx.dev equivalent                                                    |
| ------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `npmjs.com/package/nuxt`        | [`npmx.dev/package/nuxt`](https://npmx.dev/package/nuxt)               |
| `npmjs.com/package/@nuxt/kit`   | [`npmx.dev/package/@nuxt/kit`](https://npmx.dev/package/@nuxt/kit)     |
| `npmjs.com/package/vue/v/3.4.0` | [`npmx.dev/package/vue/v/3.4.0`](https://npmx.dev/package/vue/v/3.4.0) |
| `npmjs.com/search?q=vue`        | [`npmx.dev/search?q=vue`](https://npmx.dev/search?q=vue)               |
| `npmjs.com/~sindresorhus`       | [`npmx.dev/~sindresorhus`](https://npmx.dev/~sindresorhus)             |
| `npmjs.com/org/nuxt`            | [`npmx.dev/org/nuxt`](https://npmx.dev/org/nuxt)                       |

## Use simpler URLs

npmx.dev also supports shorter, cleaner URLs:

| Pattern                | Example                                            |
| ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| `/<package>`           | [`/nuxt`](https://npmx.dev/nuxt)                   |
| `/<package>@<version>` | [`/vue@3.4.0`](https://npmx.dev/vue@3.4.0)         |
| `/@scope/name`         | [`/@nuxt/kit`](https://npmx.dev/@nuxt/kit)         |
| `/@org`                | [`/@nuxt`](https://npmx.dev/@nuxt)                 |
| `/~username`           | [`/~sindresorhus`](https://npmx.dev/~sindresorhus) |

## Understand URL limitations
