What is the purpose of the –experimental-permission flag introduced in recent Node.js versions?

Accepted Answer

The purpose of the --experimental-permission flag in recent Node.js versions is to implement a permission model that restricts what resources a Node.js process can access, similar to Deno's security model. This flag helps enhance security by controlling access to the file system, network, and environment variables.
