Rollup is a JavaScript module bundler that focuses on providing a simple and efficient way to bundle JavaScript code for the web. It is known for its tree-shaking capabilities, which help in removing unused code and optimizing the final bundle size. Rollup's approach of using ES module syntax by default makes it a popular choice for modern web development projects.

Compared to other bundlers like Webpack and Parcel, Rollup is lightweight and offers faster build times, especially for smaller projects. Its plugin-based architecture allows for customization and integration with various tools and frameworks, making it a versatile choice for bundling JavaScript modules.
