A 2016 benchmark study comparing the bundle size and runtime overhead of transpiling ES2015 JavaScript to ES5 with different tools such as Babel + Browserify, Closure Compiler, and Rollup. It is an analysis repo with example code and findings rather than a reusable software package.

Use cases

• compare bundle sizes of es2015 transpilers
• understand tree shaking benefits in javascript bundling
• decide between babel browserify rollup and closure compiler
• learn about per-module overhead in js bundles
• research historical javascript build tool performance

When to choose

• you want historical data on 2016-era ES2015 transpilation costs
• you are researching tree shaking and bundle overhead concepts

When to avoid

• you need a current transpiler or bundler for production
• you want up-to-date benchmarks of modern build tools
• you need a maintained library with a license
