Browserify is a popular tool that allows developers to use Node.js-style require() to organize and bundle JavaScript code for the browser. It enables the use of npm modules in the browser environment by bundling them into a single file. Browserify simplifies the development process by managing dependencies and ensuring compatibility between Node.js and browser environments.
Compared to other bundling tools like Webpack or Rollup, Browserify is known for its simplicity and ease of use, especially for projects that do not require complex configurations. It is actively maintained and continues to be a reliable choice for bundling JavaScript modules for browser applications.
