Pecker is not a build tool

Well, for one thing, Pecker is not a build tool.

Pecker is not looking to do what Grunt, Gulp or Broccoli head out to do.

These build tools do their job and they do it well.

It is a framework

Pecker is a framework that aims to make your assets management easier, using multitude of tools behind the scene to achieve that.

In fact, currently Pecker is using Gulp as a build tool as part of the framework. It was selected because right now, it seems to fit most of the use-cases we needed.

Why a framework?

The beauty of this is that we help to figure out the best tools and practices that you might need, specifically in assets management, free-ing you with making other choices related to other parts of your application development.

We also try to ensure that Pecker would play nice with other web technologies. At the end of the day, we want to help you achieve productivity, not hinder it.

This means that you can use Pecker alongside/integrated into your own build pipeline, letting Pecker handle assets management and letting your build tool do what they do best for your application.
