      What is the relationship between Rsbuild and Rspack?

      Rspack is the underlying bundler for Rsbuild. The goal of Rsbuild is to provide out-of-the-box build capabilities for Rspack users, so developers can start a web project with zero configuration.

      The main differences between Rspack and Rsbuild are:

      • Rspack projects need to be configured from scratch, while Rsbuild provides default best practice configurations and supports extending Rspack configurations.
      • Rspack projects require integration with loaders and plugins from the community to support different scenarios, while Rsbuild provides official plugins and default support for common frontend frameworks and build capabilities.
      • The capabilities of the Rspack CLI are comparable to the webpack CLI but more streamlined, while Rsbuild provides a more powerful CLI and a more complete dev server.

      Can Rsbuild be used to build libraries or UI components?

      Rsbuild is designed for building web applications out of the box.

      For libraries and UI components, we recommend using Rslib, a library development tool based on Rsbuild that reuses Rsbuild's configuration and plugins.
