Parcel: Detailed Overview & Metrics
@parcel/core is a zero-configuration bundler for web applications that aims to simplify the build process by providing an easy-to-use and fast tool for bundling assets. It supports various file types like JavaScript, CSS, HTML, and more, and automatically handles dependencies, code splitting, and hot module replacement.
Compared to other bundlers like Webpack or Rollup, Parcel offers a more streamlined setup process and requires minimal configuration, making it ideal for quick prototyping and small to medium-sized projects. It also provides out-of-the-box support for modern web technologies like ES modules and TypeScript.
