The main goal of the esbuild bundler project is to bring about a new era of build tool performance, and create an easy-to-use modern bundler along the way.
Major features:
- Extreme speed without needing a cache
- JavaScript, CSS, TypeScript, and JSX built-in
- A straightforward API for CLI, JS, and Go
- Bundles ESM and CommonJS modules
- Bundles CSS including CSS modules
- Tree shaking, minification, and source maps
- Local server, watch mode, and plugins
