Import Format: CommonJS vs. ES Modules

[ShobhitPatra]

I noticed that our project currently does not have "type": "module" in package.json, yet some files use ESM (import/export). This inconsistency might cause issues like:
SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module
or
ReferenceError: require is not defined

If we prefer ESM, should we add "type": "module" in package.json?
Are there any compatibility concerns with dependencies or tooling?

Would love to hear thoughts from the maintainers and contributors before making any changes.

Thanks!

Webpack supports commonjs and esm (and more), so you can use any in your project
