What is treesh?

Treesh is a modern JavaScript bundler and task runner designed for speed and efficiency. It's built in Rust, which contributes to its performance advantages over traditional JavaScript-based bundlers. Here's a breakdown of key aspects:

• Core Functionality: Treesh primarily focuses on bundling JavaScript modules for web browsers and Node.js environments. It handles dependency resolution, code transformation (like transpilation and minification), and creates optimized bundles.

• Performance: Thanks to its Rust implementation, Treesh boasts significantly faster build times compared to many popular bundlers like Webpack and Parcel. This makes it well-suited for large projects where build performance is critical.

• Configuration: Treesh's configuration is typically handled via a treesh.config.ts file (or .js if Typescript is not enabled in the project) at the root of your project. This file allows you to customize various aspects of the bundling process, such as entry points, output directories, and plugins.

• Plugin System: Treesh has a plugin system that extends its capabilities. Plugins can be used to add support for different file types (like CSS or images), perform custom transformations, or integrate with other tools.

• Task Runner: Treesh also functions as a task runner. This allows you to define and execute custom tasks within your project, such as running linters, formatters, or testing frameworks. These tasks can be defined inside treesh.config.ts and executed through the command line.

• Zero-config: Treesh tries to be as zero-config as possible. If you provide only entry points, you can easily create a project bundler with no extra configuration.

• Comparison to Other Bundlers: Treesh directly competes with tools like Webpack, Rollup, Parcel, and esbuild. While all of these tools serve a similar purpose, Treesh differentiates itself through its Rust-based architecture and focus on speed.
