Rollup is a JavaScript module bundler that focuses on providing a simple and efficient way to bundle JavaScript code for the web. It is known for its tree-shaking capabilities, which help in removing unused code and optimizing the final bundle size. Rollup supports ES modules natively and allows developers to write code using the latest JavaScript features without worrying about compatibility issues.

Compared to other bundlers like Webpack and Parcel, Rollup is lightweight and offers faster build times, making it a preferred choice for projects that prioritize performance and size optimization. Its plugin-based architecture allows for customization and integration with various tools and frameworks.
