# Vite > The Build Tool for the Web - 💡 Instant Server Start - ⚡️ Lightning Fast HMR - 🛠️ Rich Features - 📦 Optimized Build - 🔩 Universal Plugin Interface - 🔑 Fully Typed APIs Vite is a new breed of frontend build tooling that significantly improves the frontend development experience. It consists of two major parts: - A dev server that serves your source files over [native ES modules](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Modules), with [rich built-in features](https://vite.dev/guide/features.md) and astonishingly fast [Hot Module Replacement (HMR)](https://vite.dev/guide/features.md#hot-module-replacement). - A [build command](https://vite.dev/guide/build.md) that bundles your code with [Rollup](https://rollupjs.org), pre-configured to output highly optimized static assets for production. In addition, Vite is highly extensible via its [Plugin API](https://vite.dev/guide/api-plugin.md) and [JavaScript API](https://vite.dev/guide/api-javascript.md) with full typing support. ## Table of Contents ### Introduction - [Getting Started](/guide.md) - [Project Philosophy](/guide/philosophy.md) - [Why Vite](/guide/why.md) ### Guide - [Features](/guide/features.md) - [Command Line Interface](/guide/cli.md) - [Using Plugins](/guide/using-plugins.md) - [Dependency Pre-Bundling](/guide/dep-pre-bundling.md) - [Static Asset Handling](/guide/assets.md) - [Building for Production](/guide/build.md) - [Deploying a Static Site](/guide/static-deploy.md) - [Env Variables and Modes](/guide/env-and-mode.md) - [Server-Side Rendering (SSR)](/guide/ssr.md) - [Backend Integration](/guide/backend-integration.md) - [Troubleshooting](/guide/troubleshooting.md) - [Performance](/guide/performance.md) - [Migration from v7](/guide/migration.md) - [Breaking Changes](/changes.md) ### APIs - [Plugin API](/guide/api-plugin.md) - [HMR API](/guide/api-hmr.md) - [JavaScript API](/guide/api-javascript.md) - [Configuring Vite](/config.md) ### Environm
