};Babel is a popular JavaScript compiler that transforms modern JavaScript into a version compatible with older environments. It offers extensive plugins and presets for handling various JavaScript features, including JSX and TypeScript. Compared to @parcel/transformer-js, Babel is more flexible and can be used independently of any bundler.
TypeScript is a language and a set of tools that transpile TypeScript code into JavaScript. It includes a compiler that can be used to transform TypeScript files. While @parcel/transformer-js can handle TypeScript as part of a larger build process, the TypeScript compiler is specifically focused on TypeScript and offers more fine-grained control over the transformation process.
esbuild is an extremely fast JavaScript bundler and minifier. It supports modern JavaScript syntax, JSX, and TypeScript out of the box. Compared to @parcel/transformer-js, esbuild is known for its speed and efficiency, making it a good choice for large projects where build time is a concern.
