Gulp: Detailed Overview & Metrics
Gulp is a popular task runner built on Node.js that simplifies and automates various development tasks. It allows developers to define and run tasks such as minification, compilation, testing, and more using a simple and efficient code-over-configuration approach. Gulp's streaming build system processes files as streams, which results in faster task execution and reduced I/O operations.
Compared to alternatives like Grunt, Gulp offers a more code-centric and flexible approach, making it easier to write and maintain tasks. Gulp's extensive plugin ecosystem provides a wide range of plugins for different tasks, enhancing its functionality and customization options.
