Vite is a build tool that gives frontend developers instant server startup by leveraging native ES modules, and fast production builds through pre-bundled Rollup output. It is framework-agnostic and ships first-class plugins for Vue, React, Svelte, Solid and more.

Key Features

  • Instant dev server: native ESM means near-zero cold start, even on large codebases.
  • Fast HMR: hot updates stay fast regardless of file count.
  • Framework-agnostic: Vue, React, Svelte, Solid, Preact and vanilla all supported.
  • Rich plugin ecosystem: Rollup-compatible plugins plus Vite-specific ones.
  • Built-in TypeScript & JSX support out of the box.
  • SSR & library mode for building component libraries.

Vite is free and open source under the MIT license.
