Are node-cron and cron modules in npm same?

Question

I'm trying to implement a cron job scheduler in my node api. When i went over search i see there are two modules. node-cron and cron. With reference to the below question, it adds to my confusion, as the user has node-cron installed on his machine whereas in his code he imports cron module.

Node-cron example

When i search npmjs for module i see two different modules

Node-cron and cron modules in npm

Not sure if i'm completely misunderstanding the concept or what.

Please suggest.!

Answer 1

They are different packages that do the same thing. In the example, the user says he he is using node-cron but he is just using cron.
