Bun is a JavaScript runtime, package manager, bundler and test runner built from scratch using the Zig programming language.[3] It was designed by Jarred Sumner as a drop-in replacement for Node.js. Bun uses JavaScriptCore as the JavaScript engine,[4] unlike Node.js and Deno, which both use V8.
It supports bundling, minifying, server-side rendering (SvelteKit, Nuxt.js, Vite). The runtime supports foreign function interface (FFI), SQLite, TLS 1.3, DNS resolution. It also comes bundled in with common tools like File editing, HTTP servers, Websocket, Hashing and SQL[5].
