babel-standalone

babel-standalone provides a standalone, browser-ready build of Babel (v6.26.0) with all standard plugins and presets bundled, enabling ES2015+ transpilation in non-Node.js environments like browsers, REPLs, and embedded JavaScript engines. It is a maintained fork of the deprecated babel-browser package, offering similar functionality with automated updates to align with Babel releases. Key differentiators include automatic compilation of <script type='text/babel'> tags, support for custom plugins/presets, and optional integration with babili-minify. It does not support .babelrc due to lack of file system access, and is not a replacement for build-tool integration in Node-based workflows.
