parcel

Parcel is a zero-configuration web application bundler that compiles and optimizes JavaScript, CSS, HTML, and other web assets for production deployment. It was designed to provide a simpler alternative to complex build tools like Webpack, offering automatic configuration and sensible defaults. Parcel automatically transforms code using Babel, PostCSS, and other tools based on file extensions and project dependencies. It includes built-in support for hot module replacement, code splitting, and tree shaking to optimize bundle sizes. The bundler works with modern JavaScript frameworks including React, Vue, and Angular without requiring extensive setup. Parcel uses multi-core processing to achieve fast build times, making it efficient for both development and production builds. It's particularly popular among developers who want powerful bundling capabilities without spending time on configuration files.
