Browserify: Detailed Overview & Metrics
Browserify is a popular tool that allows developers to write Node.js-style modules that compile for use in the browser. It enables the use of 'require' statements in the browser, making it easier to organize and manage dependencies in client-side JavaScript applications. Browserify bundles all the required modules into a single file, reducing the number of HTTP requests and improving performance.
Compared to other module bundlers like Webpack or Rollup, Browserify is known for its simplicity and ease of use, especially for projects that do not require advanced features. It is actively maintained and continues to be a reliable choice for bundling JavaScript modules for the browser.
