esbuild is a free and open-source module bundler and minifier for JavaScript written by Evan Wallace.[2][3] Written in Go instead of JavaScript, esbuild claims to be "10 to 100 times" faster than other bundlers by using parallelism and shared memory usage.[4][5][6][7] It supports TypeScript, JSX, tree-shaking and is extensible through plugins.
Usage[edit]
esbuild is used in Vite, a front-end build-tool and development server, and the Phoenix Framework. It is included as a bundler for Angular since v17,[8] Ruby on Rails since v7,[9] and for Netlify Functions.[10]
