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, making it versatile for different project setups.

Compared to traditional bundlers like Webpack, Vite offers near-instantaneous cold server start, blazing fast hot module replacement, and optimized production builds. Its plugin-based architecture allows for customization and extensibility, making it a popular choice for developers seeking performance and simplicity.
