Senior JavaScript
Quick Answer Module bundling (Webpack, Vite, Rollup): combines all module files into one or a few bundles for the browser. Tree shaking: static analysis of ES module imports removes code that's imported but never used. import { specific } from "big-lib" รขโ‚ฌโ€ if only specific is used, tree shaking removes the rest of big-lib from the bundle. Reduces bundle size dramatically.
