library0.0.0jsnpmunverified

An esbuild plugin that removes duplicate require statements from minified JavaScript bundles, reducing output size and potentially improving runtime performance. Version 0.0.0 is the initial release, with no further updates or release cadence information. Key differentiator: focuses on duplicate require removal, a niche optimization not addressed by standard minification plugins. However, the package is extremely new (single initial release) and has low adoption. Use with caution for experimental or size-sensitive builds.
