Grunt vs Jetpack: What are the differences?
What is Grunt? The JavaScript Task Runner. The less work you have to do when performing repetitive tasks like minification, compilation, unit testing, linting, etc, the easier your job becomes. After you've configured it, a task runner can do most of that mundane work for you—and your team—with basically zero effort.
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.
Grunt and Jetpack belong to "JS Build Tools / JS Task Runners" category of the tech stack.
Grunt and Jetpack are both open source tools. Grunt with 11.9K GitHub stars and 1.55K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Jetpack with 1.31K GitHub stars and 18 GitHub forks.
