{"id":25465,"library":"esbuild-windows-64-for-imba","title":"esbuild Windows 64-bit binary","description":"The Windows 64-bit native binary for esbuild, a fast JavaScript bundler and minifier. This package is part of esbuild's platform-specific distribution (version 0.27.x series, latest v0.28.0). It is installed automatically by the main `esbuild` package when running on Windows x64. Key differentiators: written in Go for extreme speed (10-100x faster than webpack/rollup), built-in bundling, minification, TypeScript/JSX transpilation, and CSS bundling. No dependencies required; the main `esbuild` package uses this as an optional dependency.","status":"active","version":"0.0.2035","language":"javascript","source_language":"en","source_url":"https://github.com/evanw/esbuild","tags":["javascript"],"install":[{"cmd":"npm install esbuild-windows-64-for-imba","lang":"bash","label":"npm"},{"cmd":"yarn add esbuild-windows-64-for-imba","lang":"bash","label":"yarn"},{"cmd":"pnpm add esbuild-windows-64-for-imba","lang":"bash","label":"pnpm"}],"dependencies":[],"imports":[{"note":"Do not import this package directly.
