Rollup is a JavaScript module bundler that focuses on providing a highly efficient and performant bundling process for modern web applications. It is known for its tree-shaking capabilities, which eliminate unused code during the bundling process, resulting in smaller bundle sizes and improved performance. Rollup also supports various module formats like ES modules and CommonJS, making it versatile for different project setups.

Compared to other bundlers like Webpack and Parcel, Rollup is more lightweight and optimized for building libraries and packages rather than full-fledged applications. Its simplicity and speed make it a preferred choice for projects that prioritize performance and size efficiency.
