description Ninja Overview

Ninja is a small, high-performance build system focused on speed. Unlike other build tools that are designed to be human-readable, Ninja is designed to be generated by other tools like CMake. It excels at running builds as fast as possible by minimizing overhead and maximizing parallel execution. If you are working on a large C++ project and need the fastest possible build times, Ninja is the backend of choice, usually paired with a meta-build system like CMake to handle the configuration.
