What is Tree-Shaking and how does Angular benefit from it?

Junior Angular
Quick Answer Tree-shaking is a build optimization that removes unused code from the final bundle. Angular's build system (via Webpack/Rollup) analyzes imports and removes code that's never actually used. Angular's standalone components, providedIn: "root" services, and pure functions all support tree-shaking. This is why unused Angular features don't bloat the bundle.
