Transforms ES2015 spread syntax for iterables to ES5-compatible code, enabling broader browser compatibility. This Babel plugin replaces instances of the spread operator on iterables like arrays and strings with efficient, equivalent ES5 implementations. Crucially, this maintains the original functionality while targeting older JavaScript environments, ensuring seamless integration with projects requiring legacy browser support. Ideal for developers polyfilling ES2015 features through Babel.
