Ninja is a small, fast build system designed to run builds as quickly as possible. It was created by Evan Martin while working at Google and is now widely used in various software development projects. Key features of Ninja include its speed, simplicity, and focus on performance. It generates a build graph from a high-level build system and executes builds based on this graph. Ninja is particularly efficient at incremental builds, only rebuilding what's necessary when source files change. Ninja uses a simple, human-readable file format to describe the build. It's designed to be generated by other build systems, serving as a low-level build system that can be used as a backend for higher-level build systems like CMake. The system is cross-platform, supporting Windows, macOS, and Linux. It's used in several high-profile projects, including Chrome and Android. Ninja's minimal dependency approach and parallel execution capabilities make it especially suitable for large-scale projects. While Ninja is powerful, it's not intended to replace more feature-rich build systems entirely. Instead, it complements them by providing a fast, efficient execution engine for builds. Its simplicity and speed have made it a popular choice among developers looking to optimize their build processes.
