Oxc (Oxidation Compiler) is a collection of high-performance JavaScript and TypeScript tools written in Rust, including the Oxlint linter, Oxfmt formatter, parser, transformer, minifier, and module resolver. It serves as the foundation for modern JS tooling such as Rolldown (Vite's bundler) and offers Node.js bindings and Rust crates.

Use cases

• lint javascript and typescript code faster than eslint
• format a codebase as a prettier replacement
• parse typescript or jsx files in rust or node
• transpile typescript and jsx to older javascript targets
• minify javascript for production builds
• resolve node.js modules in a bundler or dev tool
• run typescript directly in node without a build step

When to choose

• you need a very fast ESLint-compatible linter with 800+ rules and easy migration
• you want a Prettier-compatible formatter with much higher throughput
• you're building a bundler, dev server, or code tool that needs a fast JS/TS parser or resolver
• you want a unified Rust-based JavaScript toolchain

When to avoid

• you depend on ESLint plugin edge-case behavior not yet supported by Oxlint
• you rely on exact Prettier plugin behavior not covered by Oxfmt
• you need a battle-tested minifier and can't accept alpha-stage software
