Vite is a build tool that aims to provide a faster and more efficient development experience for modern web projects. It leverages ES modules to serve code in development with minimal bundling, resulting in quicker startup times and faster hot module replacement. Vite supports various front-end 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 eliminates the need for time-consuming bundling processes during development, leading to a more responsive and productive development environment. Its innovative approach to module serving and compilation makes it a compelling choice for building modern web applications.
