Vite is a build tool that aims to provide a faster and more efficient development experience for modern web projects. It leverages native ES module imports to eliminate the need for bundling during development, resulting in quicker startup times and faster hot module replacement. Vite supports various frontend frameworks like Vue, React, and Svelte, offering a streamlined development workflow with features like instant server start, optimized builds, and efficient caching mechanisms.

Compared to traditional bundlers like Webpack, Vite excels in speed and developer experience, making it ideal for small to medium-sized projects. It is actively maintained and recommended for projects that prioritize performance and rapid development iterations.
