[AskJS] Advantages of Rollup over other bundlers for creating libraries?

• vite

  786 64,595 9.9 TypeScript

  Next generation frontend tooling. It's fast!

  

Rollup is only a bundler. It doesn't provide a development server like WebPack, for example. This doesn't mean you can't build an app with it, but for convenience it's usually better to go with a framework that uses Rollup as part of its dependencies, like Vite, which integrates it into its development server.

• swc

  139 29,952 9.9 Rust

  Rust-based platform for the Web

  

Rollup is highly configurable via plugins. It also supports a wide range of transpilation targets. However, it's written in JavaScript (well, TypeScript) so there's a ceiling on how fast it can go. esbuild and swc are orders-of-magnitude faster than Rollup.

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com sponsored

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• esbuild

  322 37,249 9.5 Go

  An extremely fast bundler for the web
