## What it is
FuseBox is a fast JavaScript/TypeScript module bundler and loader with a comprehensive API, built-in dev server, and hot module replacement. It bundles web applications targeting the browser or server from a simple configuration API.

## Use cases
- bundle a typescript web app
- javascript module bundler with hmr
- fast alternative to webpack
- dev server with hot reload for react
- bundle frontend assets with minimal config

## When to choose
- you want a fast, low-config bundler for a small-to-medium JS/TS project
- you need built-in HMR and dev server without extra tooling

## When to avoid
- starting a new production project - the project has limited support and is effectively unmaintained
- you need a large plugin ecosystem or long-term community support - prefer Vite, esbuild, or webpack

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: build-tool, developer-tools
- domain: web-development, frontend, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: bundler, module-loader, hmr, hot-reload, typescript, dev-server, javascript, nodejs
