Parcel: Detailed Overview & Metrics
@parcel/core is a core module of the Parcel bundler, a fast and zero-config web application bundler. It efficiently bundles assets like JavaScript, CSS, and images by leveraging a multi-core compilation process and caching for improved performance. Parcel's out-of-the-box support for modern web technologies like ES modules, TypeScript, and CSS preprocessors simplifies the build process.
Compared to other bundlers like Webpack and Rollup, Parcel stands out for its ease of use and quick setup, making it ideal for small to medium-sized projects. It automatically handles asset optimization and code splitting, reducing the need for manual configuration.
