Gulp: Do i need the package.json?

Is there any need for the package.json file when I am running a Gulp script?

I just renamed it, and the Gulp-Script is still running - so can I delete it, or is it needed for anything?

Thank you very much!

No, you don't need it for gulp.

You do need it for dependency management. If you install gulp plugins with the --save-dev flag it will save the dependency for that plugin to package.json. If somebody else was to use your code they could just run npm install and get all the dependencies you've used at once.
