The **compare‑ver** package provides a tiny JavaScript utility for comparing, sorting, and extracting the max/min of software version strings that consist only of numeric components (e.g., “1.7.10”). It offers simple `gt`, `lt`, `clean`, `sort`, `max`, and `min` functions and works in legacy browsers (IE 6+) as well as Node.js, making it useful for developers who need reliable version‑ordering logic without pulling in larger dependencies.
