While CDN is easy, it's not the best practice to directly add it to your project. There are many benefits to using a package manager like npm, including: - simplifying the process of installing and updating software packages - reducing the number of software dependencies - making it easier to share software packages with others - providing a consistent way to manage software dependencies across different projects
