Gulp: Detailed Overview & Metrics
Gulp is a popular task runner built on Node.js that simplifies and automates common development tasks like minification, compilation, testing, and more. It uses a code-over-configuration approach, allowing developers to write tasks as code rather than complex configuration files. Gulp's streaming build system processes files efficiently, making it faster than traditional task runners.
Compared to alternatives like Grunt, Gulp offers a more intuitive and flexible workflow with its simple API and plugin ecosystem. Gulp is actively maintained and widely used in the JavaScript community, providing a reliable build tool for optimizing workflows and enhancing productivity.
