Webpack: Detailed Overview & Metrics
Webpack is a popular module bundler for JavaScript applications. It allows developers to bundle and manage dependencies, assets, and resources efficiently. With its powerful configuration options and plugin system, Webpack enables code splitting, lazy loading, and optimization of assets for production builds. It supports various module formats and can handle assets like CSS, images, and fonts through loaders and plugins.
Compared to other bundlers like Parcel and Rollup, Webpack offers more customization and flexibility but has a steeper learning curve. It is actively maintained with regular updates and a large community, making it a reliable choice for complex projects requiring advanced bundling capabilities.
