Rustbolt

English | 简体中文

Rustbolt is a high performance JavaScript bundler written in Rust. It offers strong compatibility with the webpack ecosystem, allowing for seamless replacement of webpack, and provides lightning fast build speeds.

✨ Features

• 🚀 Fast Startup: Based on Rust, the build speed is extremely fast, bringing you the ultimate development experience.
• ⚡ Lightning HMR: With a built-in incremental compilation mechanism, HMR is extremely fast and fully capable of developing large-scale projects.
• 📦 Webpack Compatible: Compatible with plugins and loaders in the webpack ecosystem, seamlessly integrating excellent libraries built by the community.
• 🎨 Module Federation: Provide first-class support for Module Federation to facilitate the development of large-scale web applications.
• 🛠️ Production Optimization: Various optimization strategies are built in by default, such as tree shaking, minification, etc.
• 🎯 Framework Agnostic: Not bound to any frontend framework, ensuring enough flexibility.
