Webpack is a popular module bundler for JavaScript applications, widely used for bundling assets like JavaScript, CSS, and images. It offers a powerful and flexible configuration system that allows developers to define custom build processes and optimize their application's performance. With features like code splitting, hot module replacement, and tree shaking, Webpack helps in creating efficient and optimized bundles for web projects.
