Gulp.js is a powerful JavaScript-based task runner used primarily in web development. It helps automate various repetitive tasks in the development workflow, making the process more efficient and less error-prone.
Essentially, Gulp.js allows developers to define tasks using code, such as compiling Sass to CSS, minifying JavaScript or CSS files, optimizing images, concatenating files, and much more. These tasks are automated and can be executed sequentially or in parallel, saving developers significant time and effort during the development process.
Gulp.js operates on the principle of streams, using Node.js streams to manipulate files. This stream-based approach makes Gulp fast and efficient as it processes files in a streaming manner, passing data from one plugin to another without writing temporary files to disk.
