Brunch vs Jetpack: What are the differences?
What is Brunch? Ultra-fast HTML5 build tool. Brunch is an assembler for HTML5 applications. It's agnostic to frameworks, libraries, programming, stylesheet & templating languages and backend technology.
What is Jetpack? Webpack made more convenient. Jetpack wraps webpack to create a smoother developer experience. Jetpack can be used instead of webpack, webpack-cli, webpack-dev-server and webpack-dev-middleware without writing any configuration. Jetpack is a thin wrapper around webpack, and can be extended with any of the webpack configuration.
Brunch and Jetpack can be categorized as "JS Build Tools / JS Task Runners" tools.
Brunch and Jetpack are both open source tools. It seems that Brunch with 6.58K GitHub stars and 461 forks on GitHub has more adoption than Jetpack with 1.31K GitHub stars and 18 GitHub forks.
