esbuild is a free and open-source module bundler and minifier for JavaScript written by Evan Wallace.[1][2] 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.[3][4][5][6] It supports TypeScript, JSX, tree-shaking and is extensible through plugins.

Usage

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,[7] Ruby on Rails since v7,[8] and for Netlify Functions.[9]
