-The following condition definitions are currently endorsed by Node.js:
-
-* `"browser"` - any environment which implements a standard subset of global
-  browser APIs available from JavaScript in web browsers, including the DOM
-  APIs.
+* `"types"` - can be used by typing systems to resolve the typing file for
+  the given export. _This condition should always be included first._
+* `"deno"` - indicates a variation for the Deno platform.
+* `"browser"` - any web browser environment.
 * `"development"` - can be used to define a development-only environment
-  entry point. _Must always be mutually exclusive with `"production"`._
+  entry point, for example to provide additional debugging context such as
+  better error messages when running in a development mode. _Must always be
+  mutually exclusive with `"production"`._
 * `"production"` - can be used to define a production environment entry
   point. _Must always be mutually exclusive with `"development"`._
 
-The above user conditions can be enabled in Node.js via the
-[`--conditions` flag][].

-Platform specific conditions such as `"deno"`, `"electron"`, or `"react-native"`
