Vite
Next Generation Frontend Tooling — The Build Tool for the Web
Vite is a high-performance frontend build tool that leverages native ES modules for instant server start and lightning-fast hot module replacement. It supports TypeScript, JSX, CSS, WebAssembly, and more out of the box, with an extensible plugin system built on Rollup/Rolldown. It is widely adopted across major JavaScript frameworks including SolidJS, Svelte, and others.
Vite serves source files over native ESM during development for instant startup, and uses Rolldown for optimized production builds with tree-shaking and minification.
