{"id":18462,"library":"kimbap","title":"kimbap.js","description":"kimbap.js is a JavaScript bundler (version 0.0.13, experimental) that bundles source files into a single output file. Designed as a minimal alternative to tools like Webpack or Rollup, it supports entry specification, output path configuration, and output filename customization via CLI options. As an early-stage project with no stable release cadence, it currently lacks advanced features like code splitting, plugins, or tree shaking. Its key differentiator is simplicity: a straightforward command-line interface with only four options. Not recommended for production use.","status":"active","version":"0.0.13","language":"javascript","source_language":"en","source_url":"https://github.com/danmooozi/kimbap.js","tags":["javascript","bundler"],"install":[{"cmd":"npm install kimbap","lang":"bash","label":"npm"},{"cmd":"yarn add kimbap","lang":"bash","label":"yarn"},{"cmd":"pnpm add kimbap","lang":"bash","label":"pnpm"}],"dependencies":[],"imports":[{"note":"Package is ESM-only.
