Webpack
Also known as: webpack
A static module bundler for JavaScript that transforms JS, CSS, and images into one or more bundles based on a dependency graph. Highly configurable but complex, it was the long-time de-facto frontend standard.
Overview
Webpack popularized module bundling after its 2012 release. Loaders process various file types, and plugins customize the build pipeline. Next.js used Webpack 5 internally, but has been transitioning to Turbopack since v15.
Current Position
New projects increasingly favor Vite or Turbopack. Webpack remains in use for maintaining large existing projects and in cases requiring advanced build customization.
