What is Webpack and how does it work?

Webpack is a module bundler for JavaScript applications. It takes modules with dependencies and generates static assets representing those modules.

Why should I use Webpack instead of other bundlers?

Webpack offers powerful features like code splitting, tree shaking, and a rich plugin ecosystem, making it highly customizable.

Can you explain code splitting in Webpack?

Code splitting allows you to split your code into separate bundles, which can be loaded on demand, improving load times.

How do I set up a basic Webpack configuration?

To set up Webpack, you need to install it via npm, create a webpack.config.js file, and define your entry and output points.
