Vite is an open-source front-end build tool created by Evan You (the author of Vue.js) in 2020, which quickly became the standard of modern JavaScript tooling.

It combines an extremely fast development server based on native ES modules (the browser loads source files directly in HMR, without bundling) with a production build based on Rollup. It is compatible with React, Vue, Svelte, Solid, Lit, vanilla JS and most other frameworks.

Vite is used internally by many frameworks (SvelteKit, Astro, Nuxt, some versions of Remix) as the build layer. The rolldown project, currently replacing Rollup, aims to bring even more performance through a Rust rewrite.
