cjs stands for CommonJS. It is a module system for JavaScript that was popularized by NodeJS, and as such typically used in server-side JavaScript.

CommonJS uses the require keyword to import modules:

Javascript
const fs = require('fs')

In recent years, cjs is increasingly being replaced by esm, or ECMA Script Modules which is the official module system of the JavaScript language, and the future-proof choice.

Since version 3, FreeSewing is ESM-only.
