How is vite different from CRA?

Vite differs from CRA primarily in its approach to project scaffolding and bundling. Vite utilizes native ES modules for faster code compilation and hot module replacement, resulting in a significant reduction of start-up and code update times compared to CRA, which relies on webpack. Additionally, Vite offers a more flexible configuration and supports a wide range of plugins and frameworks, including React, Vue, and Svelte.
