 ## Differences between ESM and CommonJS
 
-Most of the differences are explained in [Node's documentation](https://nodejs.org/api/esm.html#esm_differences_between_es_modules_and_commonjs), but in addition to the things mentioned there, Jest injects a special variable into all executed files - the [`jest` object](JestObjectAPI.md). To access this object in ESM, you need to import it from the `@jest/globals` module.

 Please note that we currently don't support `jest.mock` in a clean way in ESM, but that is something we intend to add proper support for in the future. Follow [this issue](https://github.com/facebook/jest/issues/10025) for updates.
