Notable Changes
require(esm) is now enabled by default

Support for loading native ES modules using require() had been available on v20.x under the command line flag --experimental-require-module, and available by default on v22.x and v23.x. In this release, it is now no longer behind a flag on v20.x.

This feature has been tested on v23.x and v22.x, and we are looking for user feedback from v20.x to make more final tweaks before fully stabilizing it. When the Node.js instance encounters a native ES module in require() somewhere outside node_modules for the first time, it will emit an experimental warning unless require() comes from a path that contains node_modules. If there happens to be any regressions caused by this feature, users can report it to the Node.js issue tracker. Meanwhile this feature can also be disabled using --no-experimental-require-module as a workaround.

With this feature enabled, Node.js will no longer throw ERR_REQUIRE_ESM if require() is used to load a ES module. It can, however, throw ERR_REQUIRE_ASYNC_MODULE if the ES module being loaded or its dependencies contain top-level await. When the ES module is loaded successfully by require(), the returned object will either be a ES module namespace object similar to what's returned by import(), or what gets exported as "module.exports" in the ES module.

Users can check process.features.require_module to see whether require(esm) is enabled in the current Node.js instance. For packages, the "module-sync" exports condition can be used as a way to detect require(esm) support in the current Node.js instance and allow both require() and import to load the same native ES module. See the documentation for more details about this feature.

Module syntax detection is now enabled by default

Module syntax detection (the --experimental-detect-module flag) is now
enabled by default. Use --no-experimental-detect-module to disable it if
needed.

Syntax detection attempts to run ambiguous files as CommonJS, and if the module
fails to parse as CommonJS due to ES module syntax, Node.js tries again and runs
the file as an ES module.
Ambiguous files are those with a .js or no extension, where the nearest parent
package.json has no "type" field (either "type": "module" or
"type": "commonjs").
Syntax detection should have no performance impact on CommonJS modules, but it
incurs a slight performance penalty for ES modules; add "type": "module" to
the nearest parent package.json file to eliminate the performance cost.
A use case unlocked by this feature is the ability to use ES module syntax in
extensionless scripts with no nearby package.json.

Thanks to Geoffrey Booth for making this work on #​53619.
