Docs are correct. The comparison here is the size to import createPublicClient and http from Viem – the minimum amount of modules to replicate JsonRpcProvider or Web3.js' Provider.

Bundlephobia is not a great source of truth for bundle size of ESM packages as it doesn't account for tree-shaking, and shows the bundle size to import every single module from Viem into your application.

We also keep track of our module sizes here via size-limit.

How are you measuring that with tree shaking?

[jxom]

Can configure the size-limit imports here then run pnpm size.
