Webpack is an open-source module bundler for JavaScript. Its main purpose is to bundle JavaScript files for usage in a browser, yet it is also capable of transforming, bundling, or packaging just about any resource or asset. It can transform front-end assets like HTML, CSS, and images where corresponding loaders ar included and takes modules with dependencies and generates static assets representing those modules.

NPM is the most popular package registry for JavaScript and Node.js packages. It is relied upon by more than 11 million developers worldwide and has become the center of JavaScript code sharing. Currently NPM hosts over 1 million packages and is considered the largest software package registry in the world.

Rollup is a module bundler for JavaScript which compiles small pieces of code into something larger and more complex, such as a library or application. It uses the new standardized format for code modules included in the ES6 revision of JavaScript, instead of previous idiosyncratic solutions such as CommonJS and AMD.

Vite provides next generation tooling for frontend JavaScript development. It allows users to enjoy an instant server start with on demand file serving over native ESM, without required bundling. This allows Vite to be extremely fast when compare to traditionally bundled solutions like Webpack, Yarn and Rollup. Vite also provides lightning fast HMR (Hot Module Reload) that remains performant regardless of application or project size.
