+ * CommonJS wrapper for parquet-wasm
+ *
+ * This wrapper allows us to use parquet-wasm 0.7.0 from ES modules in Node.js.
+ *
+ * Background: parquet-wasm 0.7.0 has package.json with "type": "module" which makes
+ * Node.js treat .js files as ES modules. However, the node build uses CommonJS syntax.
+ *
+ * Solution: Since this file has a .cjs extension, Node.js always treats it as CommonJS,
+ * allowing us to use require(). We then use createRequire() in our ES module to load this wrapper.

+ * See: https://github.com/kylebarron/parquet-wasm/issues/798
