## README

# esperanto [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/esperantojs/esperanto.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/esperantojs/esperanto)

## This project is no longer under active development. To bundle ES6 modules, use [Rollup](https://github.com/rollup/rollup). To convert ES6 modules to another format, use [Babel](https://babeljs.io/docs/usage/modules/). See [#191](https://github.com/esperantojs/esperanto/pull/191) for details.

A better way to transpile ES6 modules to AMD and CommonJS:

* Easier - no laborious configuration
* Simpler - doesn't make dangerous assumptions about your project setup
* Smarter - non-destructive source code transformation, no runtime Traceur dependency, and no ES5-only features
* Faster - roughly 10x quicker than the alternatives

Try it online here: [esperantojs.org](http://esperantojs.org)

## Installation

Install esperanto from npm:

```bash
npm install esperanto
```

## Usage

You can use Esperanto in one of two modes:

* [Converting a single module](https://github.com/esperantojs/esperanto/wiki/Converting-a-single-module)
* [Bundling multiple ES6 modules](https://github.com/esperantojs/esperanto/wiki/Bundling-multiple-ES6-modules)


## Why not use existing module transpilers?

See [comparisons with other tools](https://github.com/esperantojs/esperanto/wiki/Comparisons-with-other-tools) for some of the reasons to use Esperanto.
