Gulp: Detailed Overview & Metrics
Gulp is a popular task runner built on Node.js that simplifies and automates repetitive tasks in web development workflows. It allows developers to define tasks as code and automate processes like minification, compilation, testing, and more. Gulp's streaming build system efficiently processes files and plugins, making it faster than traditional task runners.
Compared to alternatives like Grunt, Gulp offers a more code-centric approach with a simpler API and a faster execution speed. It also provides a wide range of plugins for various tasks, enhancing its flexibility and extensibility.
