-## Using import maps
-
-Deno supports [import maps](../linking_to_external_code/import_maps.md) which
-allow you to supply Deno with information about how to resolve modules that
-overrides the default behavior. Import maps are a web platform standard that is
-increasingly being included natively in browsers. They are specifically useful
-with adapting Node.js code to work well with Deno, as you can use import maps to
-map "bare" specifiers to a specific module.
-
-When coupled with Deno friendly [CDNs](./cdns.md) import maps can be a powerful
-tool in managing code and dependencies without need of a package management
-tool.
-
-### Bare and extension-less specifiers
-
-Deno will only load a fully qualified module, including the extension. The
-import specifier needs to either be relative or absolute. Specifiers that are
-neither relative or absolute are often called "bare" specifiers. For example
-`"./lodash/index.js"` is a relative specifier and
-`https://cdn.skypack.dev/lodash` is an absolute specifier. Where is `"lodash"`
-would be a bare specifier.
-
-Also Deno requires that for local modules, the module to load is fully
-resolve-able. When an extension is not present, Deno would have to "guess" what
-the author intended to be loaded. For example does `"./lodash"` mean
-`./lodash.js`, `./lodash.ts`, `./lodash.tsx`, `./lodash.jsx`,
-`./lodash/index.js`, `./lodash/index.ts`, `./lodash/index.jsx`, or
-`./lodash/index.tsx`?
-
-When dealing with remote modules, Deno allows the CDN/web server define whatever
-semantics around resolution the server wants to define. It just treats a URL,
-including its query string, as a "unique" module that can be loaded. It expects
-the CDN/web server to provide it with a valid media/content type to instruct
-Deno how to handle the file. More information on how media types impact how Deno
-handles modules can be found in the
-[Determining the type of file](../typescript/overview.md#determining-the-type-of-file)
-section of the manual.
-
-Node.js does have defined semantics for resolving specifiers, but they are
-complex, assume unfettered access to the local file system to query it. Deno has
-chosen not to go down that path.
-
-But, import maps can be used to provide some of the ease of the developer
-experience if you wish to use bare specifiers. For example, if we want to do the
-following in our code:
-
-```ts
-import lodash from "lodash";
-```
-
-We can accomplish this using an import map, and we don't even have to install
-the `lodash` package locally. We would want to create a JSON file (for example
-**import_map.json**) with the following:
-
-```json
-{
-  "imports": {
-    "lodash": "https://cdn.skypack.dev/lodash"
-  }
-}
-```
-
-And we would run our program like:
-
-```
-> deno run --import-map ./import_map.json example.ts
-```
-
-If you wanted to manage the versions in the import map, you could do this as
-well. For example if you were using Skypack CDN, you can used a
-[pinned URL](https://docs.skypack.dev/skypack-cdn/api-reference/pinned-urls-optimized)
-for the dependency in your import map. For example, to pin to lodash version
-4.17.21 (and minified production ready version), you would do this:
-
-```json
-{
-  "imports": {
-    "lodash": "https://cdn.skypack.dev/pin/lodash@v4.17.21-K6GEbP02mWFnLA45zAmi/mode=imports,min/optimized/lodash.js"
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Overriding imports
-
-The other situation where import maps can be very useful is the situation where
-you have tried your best to make something work, but have failed. For example
-you are using an npm package which has a dependency on some code that just
-doesn't work under Deno, and you want to substitute another module that
-"polyfills" the incompatible APIs.
-
-For example, let's say we have a package that is using a version of the built in
-`"fs"` module that we have a local module we want to replace it with when it
-tries to import it, but we want other code we are loading to use the standard
-library replacement module for `"fs"`. We would want to create an import map
-that looked something like this:
-
-```ts
-{
-  "imports": {
-    "fs": "https://deno.land/std@$STD_VERSION/node/fs.ts"
-  },
-  "scopes": {
-    "https://deno.land/x/example": {
-      "fs": "./patched/fs.ts"
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-Import maps can be very powerful, check out the official
-[standards README](https://github.com/WICG/import-maps#the-import-map) for more
-information.
