Parcel v2

• esbuild

  325 37,307 9.5 Go

  An extremely fast bundler for the web

esbuild tends to produce larger bundles due to https://github.com/evanw/esbuild/issues/639. Looks like there was recent activity though, so we need to re-test. Anyway, there's a plugin available for now: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@parcel/optimizer-esbuild. We're also excited about the SWC minifier project, which is basically a port of Terser to Rust.

• parcel

  170 43,145 9.4 JavaScript

  The zero configuration build tool for the web. 📦🚀

  

It’s worth noting that Parcel v2 still needs work to support some basic use cases. For instance, it does not correctly build a Sass file that pulls in Bootstrap imports from NPM: https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel/issues/6002#issueco....

We tried switching to Parcel v2 but we had to downgrade back to v1.

• SurveyJS

  surveyjs.io featured

  Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  

• vite

  794 65,026 9.9 TypeScript

  Next generation frontend tooling. It's fast!

  

I think https://vitejs.dev/ is better. It pulls in a much smaller set of packages for a hello-world non-CRA react app. I think it was something like 1.3k lines of package.json for Vite vs 6k lines for Parcel v2. JS projects shouldn't be bloated, even if this would get optimized-out for production.
