- **`vue.global(.prod).js`**: ### From CDN or without a Bundler
- For direct use via `<script src="...">` in the browser. Exposes the `Vue` global.
- Note: global builds are not [UMD](https://github.com/umdjs/umd) builds. Instead they are built as [IIFEs](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/IIFE).

- **`vue.global.js`**: the "full" build that supports compiling templates on the fly.
- **`vue.runtime.global.js`**: runtime only, does not include runtime template compilation support. Use this if you are not using a bundler, but somehow pre-compiling your template.
- **`vue.esm(.prod).js`**:
- For usage via native ES modules imports (in browser via `<script type="module">`, or via Node.js native ES modules support in the future)
- Inlines all dependencies - i.e. it's a single ES module with no imports from other files
- this means you **must** import everything from this file nad this file only to ensure you are getting the same instance of code.
- Hard-coded prod/dev branches, and the prod build is pre-minified (you will need to use different files for dev/prod)
### With a Bundler
- **`vue(.runtime).esm-bundler.js`**:
- For use with bundlers like `webpack`, `rollup` and `parcel`. - For use with bundlers like `webpack`, `rollup` and `parcel`.
- Leaves prod/dev branches with `process.env.NODE_ENV` guards (must be replaced by bundler) - Leaves prod/dev branches with `process.env.NODE_ENV` guards (must be replaced by bundler)
