About

Gulp is an open-source JavaScript toolkit for automating repetitive development tasks using a code-based configuration and a streaming build system.

It uses Node.js streams to process files through pipelines of small, single-purpose plugins, enabling tasks such as compilation, minification, concatenation, image optimization, linting, and live reloading, and relies on an ecosystem of over 4,000 plugins available to extend its functionality.

Parcel is a build tool for the web that compiles and transpiles JavaScript, compiles Sass and Less, has CSS module support, and automatically optimizes your entire app for production.
