RequireJS
A JavaScript file and module loader implementing the Asynchronous Module Definition (AMD) API for in-browser use.
What is RequireJS?
RequireJS is a JavaScript file and module loader that implements the Asynchronous Module Definition (AMD) API. It allows developers to asynchronously load JavaScript files and modules in the browser, manage dependencies, and optimize code for production through bundling and minification.
Frontend developers building complex web applications who need a reliable way to manage JavaScript dependencies and improve load performance without relying on a full framework.
Developers choose RequireJS for its lightweight, framework-agnostic approach to module loading, excellent browser compatibility, and built-in optimization tools that simplify deployment while maintaining easy debugging with plain script tags.
