About
Vite is a high-performance frontend build tool that leverages native ES modules for instant server start and lightning-fast hot module replacement. It supports TypeScript, JSX, CSS, WebAssembly, and more out of the box, with an extensible plugin system built on Rollup/Rolldown. It is widely adopted across major JavaScript frameworks including SolidJS, Svelte, and others.
Problem
Traditional frontend build tools are slow, with painful dev server startup and sluggish hot reloads that hurt developer productivity.
For
frontend developers and framework authors
How it works
Vite serves source files over native ESM during development for instant startup, and uses Rolldown for optimized production builds with tree-shaking and minification.
