| description.long | Rollup is a module bundler that compiles JavaScript code written as ES modules into various output formats for compatibility with different environments. It performs static analysis to eliminate unused code and can target modern browsers with native ES module support or legacy environments requiring CommonJS or UMD output. | Rspack is a Rust-powered bundler designed as a drop-in replacement for webpack. It combines Rust's performance with JavaScript tools through parallel architecture to provide faster builds and superior developer experience with HMR. |
