Babel JavaScript Compiler
Babel is a JavaScript compiler that lets you write modern code while keeping support for older browsers and environments.
What Babel Does
Babel turns new JavaScript features into code that works in many places. It helps you:
- Use modern JavaScript syntax (ES6 and newer)
- Keep support for older browsers
- Write clear and expressive code
- Use new features before browsers add them
How Babel Works
Babel uses plugins to change modern JavaScript into older forms. These plugins let you:
- Use new language features right away
- Pick the changes you want for your project
- Target specific browsers or runtime setups
Babel can change arrow functions, optional chaining, and modern modules into code that older browsers understand.
