The main goal of the esbuild bundler project is to bring about a new era of build tool performance, and create an easy-to-use modern bundler along the way.

Major features:

- Extreme speed without needing a cache

- ES6 and CommonJS modules

- Tree shaking of ES6 modules

- An [API](https://esbuild.github.io/api/) for JavaScript and Go

- [TypeScript](https://esbuild.github.io/content-types/#typescript) and [JSX](https://esbuild.github.io/content-types/#jsx) syntax

- [Source maps](https://esbuild.github.io/api/#sourcemap)

- [Minification](https://esbuild.github.io/api/#minify)

- [Plugins](https://esbuild.github.io/plugins/)
