@babel/preset-modules is a Babel preset that optimizes code for modern browsers supporting ES modules. Unlike traditional transpilation, it leverages native ES module support to produce smaller bundles and improve initial load times. It intelligently transpiles only what's necessary, targeting the specific features not yet supported by module-aware browsers, contributing to more efficient and performant web applications. This preset is ideal for projects aiming to benefit from the advantages of modern JavaScript development.
